The Toronto Maple Leafs went down to Boston in game three, falling to a 2-1 deficit, but now Head Coach Sheldon Keefe has good news on several players.

In Toronto, all the talk as of late has been about William Nylander and his mysterious injury, but there's been several players dealing with ailments or other things keeping them out of the lineup. Now, Sportsnet's Luke Fox has revealed Keefe's answer when recently asked about several top names ahead of game four.

Keefe said the Leafs will make a call on Nylander tomorrow (all signs point to yes). Daddy Lyubushkin is already en route back to Toronto from California and will be available to play. Pencil in Brodie for his series debut. Matthews getting his energy back after illness.




The main update came on Nylander, when Keefe revealed that they will make an official call as late as possible ahead of game four, but at this point, all signs are pointing to a return for No. 88.


Beyond that, Keefe revealed that Ilya Lyubushkin, a brand new father is on his way back to Toronto, with veteran TJ Brodie likely to slide in for his season debut. Also, superstar forward Auston Matthews is feeling much better after an illness caused him to miss several skates and depleted energy for game three, with all signs pointing to a major bounce back game for the Maple Leafs.
