Toronto Maple Leafs star center Auston Matthews says he's feeling well enough to return to game action, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.
Matthews has yet to be medically cleared but hopes to be in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the San Jose Sharks.
The 21-year-old has been sidelined for the past 14 games after he suffered a shoulder injury against the Winnipeg Jets in late October. He still sits fifth in team scoring with 16 points in 11 games despite the missed time.
