Toronto Maple Leafs forwards Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies are returning to action Wednesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets, they confirmed to TSN's Mark Masters.
Matthews has missed Toronto's last five games with a lower-body injury, while Knies has sat out the past three with the same designation.
The pair has spent most of the season together on the Maple Leafs' top line. Matthews notched 14 points in 17 games before being sidelined, and Knies ranks third on the team with 22 points in 19 appearances.
