The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-maple-leafs">Toronto Maple Leafs</a> enter Thursday’s game against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-hurricanes">Carolina Hurricanes</a> on the heels of a strong 4–1 win over the defending champion Florida Panthers. While the team appears to be building momentum, Auston Matthews continues navigating the early stages of his return from a recent injury.



The Toronto captain has played only four games since coming back and is still working to regain rhythm and full game speed. Speaking with The Athletic, he noted that while his start has been slower than expected, he sees gradual progress in multiple aspects of his game.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/auston-matthews">Matthews</a> acknowledged that his performance has yet to reach the standard he expects, but he emphasized that his focus remains on helping the team win as he works toward full form.



<h2>Matthews evaluates his return</h2>



Matthews said he is encouraged by how his overall play is trending, even if he feels more is required. “I think I’m getting there,” he noted. “I’d certainly like to do more and certainly would like to get to another level. But I think it’s turning in the right direction.”

He reiterated that personal production matters, but only within the context of team success. “In the end, I want to produce, I want to score and do all those things,” he said. “But that doesn’t matter if we’re not winning.”

<h2>Shot strength improving after injury</h2>



Matthews revealed that his shot is steadily regaining power after the injury, describing the early days of his return as challenging. “Certainly, the first couple of sessions back on the ice, it didn’t feel amazing,” he explained. “Now it definitely feels good… Just gotta work on my accuracy a little bit.”



<h2>What’s next for the Maple Leafs?</h2>



The Maple Leafs will look for continued progress from their captain as they take on Carolina at 7 p.m. ET. With his confidence and timing improving, Matthews hopes his offensive surge is close.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-maple-leafs">Toronto Maple Leafs</a> have struggled to find consistency through the first two months of the 2026 NHL season. Despite high expectations, the team has hovered near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, leaving fans frustrated and searching for answers. Central to the debate has been the performance of the Leafs’ captain and star forward, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/auston-matthews">Auston Matthews</a>.



Through 20 games, Matthews has registered 10 goals and seven assists, totaling 17 points—a significant drop from what many expected of the Arizona native. His absence at times due to injury has not helped, but there is growing concern that even when healthy, Matthews has not produced at the level needed to lead the team effectively.



Former Maple Leafs defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo weighed in on the situation during Tuesday’s edition of Daily Faceoff LIVE. “My concern about him is not being the player that everybody expects him to be. You know, they made the transition last year, giving him the captaincy…this was supposed to be his team leading the way. Production-wise, it’s been a struggle for him to do that,” Colaiacovo explained.



<h2>Can Auston Matthews turn things around for Toronto?</h2>



Colaiacovo expanded on that concern, stressing the standard Matthews is expected to meet. “If Auston Matthews is supposed to be the captain of this team and one of the top five to ten players in this league, he’s got to find it within himself to lead on his own.“



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251203_BUS_538331_auston-matthews-leafs_fd3440b3.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-538364"></figure><figcaption>&nbsp;Auston Matthews #34 of the Maple Leafs celebrates with teammates on the bench after scoring a goal.

He added: “It’s been a struggle. When your team loses, it’s a struggle for everybody. But William Nylander is finding a way. Auston Matthews needs to find a way…good back or not, he has to put the team on his back and lead them.” 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/nhl-news-oilers-receive-limited-updates-on-injuries-to-roslovic-kapanen-and-walman-ahead-of-christmas-stretch"></div>


Matthews’ early-season performance has left the Leafs with a mix of concern and hope. While injuries and external factors may have played a role, the team’s reliance on its captain to elevate play remains a key story as Toronto looks to climb the standings. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if Matthews can regain form and lead by example in the coming months.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brad-marchand">Brad Marchand</a> and the Florida Panthers suffered yet another stumble in the 2025-26 NHL season. Following the 4-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs at home, a key player on the roster made sure to remind his teammates that it will take a collective effort to climb out of their hole.



During Sam Reinhart’s 800th game in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a>, Marchand and the Panthers were found flat-footed when the Maple Leafs walked into Amerant Bank Arena. Florida can’t end their losing hex, falling in three straight home outings. Returning to Sunrise for a six-game homestand, the Cats hoped for much better results. Now, Reinhart issued a straightforward message for the team.



“There is some frustration, for sure,” Reinhart said, via <a href="https://www.nhl.com/">NHL.com</a>. “A lot of things have gone right for us over the past few years, and that certainly adds to it. But we have been in this position before. It is going to be guys in the room and guys who are healthy who are going to bring us out of it.”



<h2>Reinhart provided the only beacon of hope</h2>



Aside from Reinhart’s milestone, the game against the Leafs was a night that offered little of note. Reinhart scored a shorthanded goal to cut Toronto’s lead in half at 2-1. However, that was all the scoring <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/florida-panthers">Florida</a> did all game. Far from putting the pressure on the visiting Buds, the Cats allowed two more goals to the Leafs. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251203_BUS_538313_sam-reinhart_3faa85a0.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Sam Reinhart speaks to media" class="wp-image-500645" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Sam Reinhart in Hockey Canada’s 2025 National Teams Orientation Camp.</figcaption></figure>



It was yet another disheartening performance for the Panthers in the 2025-26 NHL season. Marchand didn’t have a good night against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-maple-leafs">Leafs</a> — nor did any player on Florida’s roster. The 37-year-old veteran was kept off the scoresheet, as his four-game point streak came to an end.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/nhl-news-brad-marchands-panthers-sign-stanley-cup-champion-on-potential-last-chance-deal"></div>

 

 


<h2>Paul Maurice’s message</h2>



The Panthers are sensing the pressure. They may act as if nothing bothers them and be confident there is still a lot of hockey left to be played in the 2025-26 NHL season. Still, sooner or later, panic mode will invade the locker room if the losses keep piling up.



“In these situations, just staying with it is the most important thing. But we’ve got to get better. It’s finding that good feeling,” Paul Maurice admitted after the game. “Sometimes it’s not a whole game. You’ve just got to start with a period. I thought we did that tonight even though it felt bad.”



The Panthers must get back in the win column immediately. Having lost four of its last five games, Florida knows it cannot afford another defeat. The Cats must change the tune. Up next, the Panthers will close out their homestand with games against the Nashville Predators, Columbus Blue Jackets, and New York Islanders.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/auston-matthews">Auston Matthews</a> and the Toronto Maple Leafs have struggled to hit the ground running in the 2025-26 NHL season. Entering Craig Berube’s second year in Hogtown, the Buds have been affected by inconsistency and several injuries. Now, the Leafs might be wise to listen to Pat Maroon’s latest comment on their head coach.



Maroon retired from the NHL during the 2024–25 season. After spending over 15 years in the league, he walked away a three-time Stanley Cup champion. For a player selected in the sixth round of the 2007 Draft, it’s safe to say Maroon exceeded all expectations. He hoisted his first <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stanley-cup">Stanley Cup</a> with the St. Louis Blues under Berube’s guidance. Now, the retired winger has shared a story from his time with Berube, offering a reminder for Matthews and the Maple Leafs.



“Berube he just got the message clear to us. He told us ‘if you don’t want to play the right way, you can sit in the stands and watch‘. To me that was a good message,” Maroon reminisced about his time with Berube on the Blues, via TSN OverDrive. “We just had to put it together.”



Maroon’s anecdote with Berube could serve as a great reminder for Matthews and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-maple-leafs">Leafs</a> on who they are dealing with in Berube. Moreover, as Toronto struggles to establish itself in the NHL, St. Louis’ miraculous run in the 2018-19 season could serve as inspiration.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251202_BUS_537879_pat-maroon_9ae333f4.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-538027"></figure><figcaption>Pat Maroon during a game with the Chicago Blackhawks</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Maroon explains what it means to play the right way</h2>



It may sound cliché, but the proof is in the pudding in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a>. In order to win in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, teams often oversimplify their games. The Leafs, however, may have done just the opposite over the last few years.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/craig-berube-drops-very-sincere-update-on-auston-matthews-leafs-teammate-it-didnt-go-the-way-we-thought"></div>


“To me, [playing the right way means] your stars are willing to live to fight another day,” Maroon explained. “Willing to chip pucks into an area where a linemate can go get it, willing to grind teams down. I think that’s what Berube means by that. To me, it’s a simple way of playing. Your star players are making an adjustment to their game for the team, so it’s a trickle-down effect.“



<h2>Sets example of Florida</h2>



If there’s one team the Maple Leafs can’t stand in the Atlantic Division lately, it’s the Florida Panthers. The Leafs and Cats have met twice in the Stanley Cup Playoffs over the last three seasons, with the team from Sunrise prevailing both times. Still, as much as Matthews and company may despise the Panthers, they could learn a lesson or two from them. Maroon certainly thinks so.



“It’s the difference between the teams that have been winning. Look at [the Florida Panthers], all they do is get pucks back and wear you down,” Maroon stated. “Do they have stars on the team? Yeah, but do they have the [Nathan] MacKinnons, [Nikita] Kucherovs, or [Auston] Matthews? No, they don’t, but all those guys are buying in. That’s why they’ve had success. So [it’s about]: are you willing to buy in? Or are you just going to go out there, put your stick on the ice, and say ‘I’m all by myself’?”

Former 3x Stanley Cup champ makes something clear to Matthews, Leafs on Berube

Craig Berube delivered a straightforward update on Brandon Carlo, as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/auston-matthews">Auston Matthews</a> and the Toronto Maple Leafs vie to finish their road trip in strong fashion in the 2025-26 NHL season.



After confirming <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/craig-berube-confirms-auston-matthews-teammate-has-left-maple-leafs-road-trip-with-injury-setback">Carlo has left the Maple Leafs’ road trip with an injury setback</a>, Berube provided an update on where the 29-year-old stands. Matthews and the Buds will be without the experienced defenseman as they close out their six-game road trip in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a>.



“He has to get something done. It didn’t go the way we thought,” Berube commented on Carlo’s health, as reported by TSN’s Mark Masters on X.



<h2>Injury-riddled season</h2>



So far, Carlo’s time in The Six has been greatly affected by physical setbacks. Through the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-maple-leafs">Maple Leafs</a>’ first 25 games of the 2025-26 campaign, Carlo has appeared in 18 outings—missing seven games.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251202_BUS_537895_brandon-carlo-1_3b295c44.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-497789" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Brandon Carlo of the Toronto Maple Leafs before a game</figcaption></figure>



Berube admitted the blueliner will “probably” require surgery. With Carlo set to undergo medical procedures, the games missed total is expected to rise for the former second-round selection in the 2015 NHL entry Draft.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/best-players-in-toronto-maple-leafs-history"></div>


<h2>Berube provides update on Anthony Stolarz</h2>



Needless to say, Matthews and the Maple Leafs have seen the injury bug tear through their locker room. With injuries to key players, the Buds have had to weather the storm to stay afloat in the NHL.



Now, Berube voiced a blunt comment on goaltender Anthony Stolarz, who has yet to return to the ice. “No real improvement there,” Berube briefly admitted about the Stanley Cup-winning netminder.

Not much has gone <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/auston-matthews">Auston Matthews</a> and the Toronto Maple Leafs’ way in the 2025-26 NHL season. In the middle of a crucial road trip, bad news have been confirmed by head coach Craig Berube on one veteran on the team.



Brandon Carlo’s production has been greatly hindered by availability and physical issues this <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> season. So far, the defenseman has appeared in 18 games, missing 7 of the Leafs’ 25 outings in the 2025–26 campaign. However, the absences tally will only rise, as Berube confirmed Carlo won’t join Matthews and company to close out the Buds’ six-game road trip.



“Craig Berube says Brandon Carlo has suffered a setback in his recovery from a lower-body injury and returned to Toronto,” as reported by TSN’s Mark Masters on X (formerly Twitter).



<h2>Carlo’s stats in the 2025-26 NHL season</h2>



Between the injury-riddled year he has had and the lackluster numbers on his statsheet, it’s safe to say Carlo’s time in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-maple-leafs">Toronto</a> has been far from remarkable. If one were to ask fans around The Six, many would like a refund. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251201_BUS_537555_brandon-carlo-1_0e24c7d8.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-497789" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Brandon Carlo before a game</figcaption></figure>



Since being traded to the Maple Leafs, the defenseman has appeared in 38 games, yet he has still not scored his first goal for the Buds. The former Boston Bruin has recorded 5 assists in his first months in Hogtown—three in the 2024–25 campaign and two in the current season.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/best-players-in-toronto-maple-leafs-history"></div>


<h2>Carlo will miss two crucial meetings</h2>



Just like Berube noted, Carlo returned on his own to Toronto, while Matthews and the Leafs wrap up a character-testing six-game road trip. As Carlo sees a specialist and awaits a clear update on his health, the Buds must end the trip on a strong note. 



Up next, the Maple Leafs will take on the reigning <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/nhl-teams-back-to-back-stanley-cup-wins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">back-to-back Stanley Cup champions</a>, the Florida Panthers, at Amerant Bank Arena. Hoping to ride the wave of their latest 7–2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Leafs can’t afford a misstep against their injury-riddled divisional opponents. To close out their long stay away from home, the Buds will travel to Raleigh, where the 16-7-2 Carolina Hurricanes await.

One man’s trash can indeed become another man’s treasure. With <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/auston-matthews" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Auston Matthews</a> returning to the lineup, the Toronto Maple Leafs deemed it best to place Sammy Blais on waivers. In doing so, they may have handed a gift to their biggest rivals in the NHL. An overlooked and frustrated forward has now landed straight into the lap of the Montreal Canadiens.



Insider Elliotte Friedman was the first to report the news of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/montreal-canadiens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Montreal</a> claiming Sammy Blais off waivers in the 2025-26 NHL season. Now, the Stanley Cup-winning forward will be joining his fourth team in the league. 



Selected with a sixth round pick in the 2014 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NHL</a> entry Draft, Blais was a part of the St. Louis Blues’ Stanley Cup-winning roster in the 2018-19 season. Blais appeared in 15 postseason games, registering three points (1G, 2A). His numbers are far from mind-blowing, but his name is still etched in immortality on Lord Stanley.



<h2>Back with the Canadiens</h2>



Blais signed with the Canadiens as an unrestricted free agent over the summer, but he never even made his season debut in Montreal before being placed on waivers. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1082" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251127_BUS_534943_sammy-blais-1_1bbabe4d.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1082" alt="" class="wp-image-535021"></figure><figcaption>Sammy Blais hoists the Stanley Cup </figcaption></figure>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-maple-leafs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Maple Leafs</a> scooped him up on October 6th—and now the story has come full circle. Though the Canadiens and Maple Leafs feature one of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/top-greatest-rivalries-in-nhl-history" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">biggest rivalries in the NHL</a>, it looks as if they are now playing a game of hot potato with Blais, shuffling him from one address to another.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/leafs-news-auston-matthews-sets-record-straight-on-injury-hit-with-bold-message-to-bruins-nikita-zadorov"></div>


<h2>Headed to the AHL</h2>



Immediately after announcing the latest roster move, the Canadiens confirmed Blais will be reporting to the AHL affiliate, Laval Rocket. It goes to show how Blais is widely regarded around the league: as a minor-league caliber talent. 



When the Buds placed Blais on waivers, they hoped for him to clear it and consequently be allowed to be sent down to the AHL. One way or the other, the 29-year-old winger is in the minors. 



<h3>Potential revenge game for Blais</h3>



However, the Habs may call him up at some stage of the 2025-26 NHL season. If they do so before December 6, Blais could be up for a revenge game when the Canadiens visit Matthews and the Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena.

After missing five games with a lower-body injury, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/auston-matthews">Auston Matthews</a> returned to the Toronto Maple Leafs lineup, helping lead a dramatic 2-1 overtime win against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday. William Nylander scored the decisive goal with 20 seconds left in OT, marking his 15th career overtime goal—the most in franchise history.



The game saw several key moments as Toronto clawed back from a late deficit. Easton Cowan tied the game with 3:17 remaining in the third period on a sharp-angled shot set up by Nylander, sending the match into overtime.



Matthews reflected on getting back on the ice: “I felt good. The first half was just about finding my legs, but as the game went on, I felt more and more comfortable,” he said, according to <a href="https://www.nhl.com/news/toronto-maple-leafs-columbus-blue-jackets-game-recap-november-26-2025" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NHL.com</a>. Nylander added, “We both get the chance to play out there in OT. He could’ve scored too today.”



<h2>How Nylander sealed the comeback in overtime</h2>



In overtime, Nylander collected a loose puck in the slot and fired a clean wrist shot past Jet Greaves to secure the victory. Goaltender Joseph Woll made 35 saves to keep Toronto in contention, while Columbus goalie Greaves stopped 22 shots in a losing effort.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/columbus-blue-jackets">Blue Jackets</a> had held a lead for much of the game, with Zach Werenski scoring late in the third period, but continued to struggle with late-game execution.

<h2>Returning stars make immediate impact for Maple Leafs</h2>



Matthews, Matthew Knies, and Nicolas Roy all contributed upon returning to the lineup. Matthews logged 24:35 with three shots, one hit, and a blocked shot. Knies had a secondary assist on the OT winner, two shots, and three hits, while Roy added a shot and two hits in limited ice time.

Making his return to the lineup after a multi-week absence, Toronto Maple Leafs star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/auston-matthews" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Auston Matthews</a> voiced an honest message. Much has been said about the hit he took from Boston Bruins defenseman Nikita Zadorov, but the forward in Hogtown has now addressed the controversial incident in the 2025-26 NHL campaign.



Whenever the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-maple-leafs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Maple Leafs</a> and Bruins meet on the ice, tempers flare. That was the case when Matthews and the Buds lost 5-3 to the Spoked B at the TD Garden. However, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-bruins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bruins</a> might have crossed a line when Zadorov landed a big hit on Matthews, sending the visiting captain head-first against the boards.



Due to the aggressive hit, Matthews was sidelined for two weeks, effectively missing five games for the Maple Leafs in the current <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NHL</a> season. Now that he’s back in the lineup, it didn’t take long for the captain to be asked about Zadorov’s hit. On that note, Matthews delivered a very sincere statement.



“I’m three feet away from the boards and he hits me in the numbers. I know his game, he likes to play hard, and you respect that. Maybe I could’ve put myself in a better position knowing he’s out there,” Matthews admitted per TSN’s Mark Masters on X (formerly Twitter).

<h2>Matthews speaks on his physical health</h2>



“It’s been a tough couple weeks, but I think over the last four, five days or so, skating, practicing, started to feel really good day after day. Stacked some positive momentum and feel like I’m ready to go,” Matthews stated.

No player in the NHL ever wants to miss time. For Matthews, being sidelined cuts even deeper. As the face of a franchise burdened with sky-high expectations, he carries the weight of a city starving for its first Stanley Cup in over half a century. Toronto can’t afford to wait much longer—and all eyes remain fixed on Matthews to lead the way.



<h2>Matthews misses games for 9th straight season</h2>



Matthews appeared in all 82 games during his rookie year in the 2016-17 NHL campaign. However, he hasn’t recorded a full-season since. Instead, the Leafs’ captain has missed games year after year. Since the 2017-18 season, Matthews has now missed a total of 88 games for the Maple Leafs.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-maple-leafs">Toronto Maple Leafs</a> are preparing for a crucial five-game road trip, and the potential return of key forwards could give the team a significant boost. Captain Auston Matthews, along with Matthew Knies and Nicolas Roy, practiced for a second straight day on Tuesday as the team traveled. The trio has missed games recently due to injuries, raising questions about how their reintegration could impact the lineup.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/auston-matthews">Matthews</a>, sidelined for the past five games with a lower-body injury, has been a central figure for Toronto this season. Knies has missed three games with a lower-body issue, while Roy has been out for three contests due to an upper-body injury. Their participation in practice signals progress, but the team remains cautious.



Coach Craig Berube emphasized the importance of getting all three forwards back in sync. “It’s good that they were out there and finished practice and went through all the drills,” he said, according to <a href="https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-status-report-news-and-notes-november-25-2025" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NHL.com.</a> 



He also added: “So yes, that’s where they’re at. So that means yes, maybe tomorrow (today).” The Maple Leafs hope their return could help stabilize the roster and provide a spark as the team faces the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/columbus-blue-jackets">Columbus Blue Jackets</a> on Wednesday.

<h2>Could Matthews play against Columbus?</h2>



All three forwards could be available for Wednesday’s matchup, with Matthews’ participation being the most closely watched. While none of the players are guaranteed to play, their practice sessions indicate that the coaching staff is preparing to reinsert them into the lineup if they are fully cleared.

<h2>How the Maple Leafs might adjust their lines</h2>



If Matthews, Knies, and Roy return, the Maple Leafs are expected to tweak their forward lines to maximize offensive efficiency. Toronto will aim to balance scoring potential with defensive stability, ensuring the team can compete effectively after a challenging stretch of recent games.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-maple-leafs">Toronto Maple Leafs</a> are enduring one of their roughest starts in years, sitting at the bottom of both the Atlantic Division and the Eastern Conference with a 9-10-3 record. A stretch of seven losses in eight games has left the team in crisis, and questions about leadership and accountability are growing louder with each passing game.



Captain <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/auston-matthews">Auston Matthews</a>, sidelined for the last five games with a lower-body injury, has returned to practice, hinting that he could be back in the lineup soon. His absence coincided with the team’s ongoing struggles, putting him squarely in the spotlight as fans and analysts assess the state of the Maple Leafs.



Off the ice, commentary from former champions has sharpened the narrative. Two-time Stanley Cup winner Kris Versteeg has delivered a blunt assessment of what Matthews must do to help the club reverse its fortunes.



<h2>Versteeg on Matthews’ role</h2>



Versteeg, who won the Stanley Cup with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-blackhawks">Chicago Blackhawks</a> in 2010 and 2015, spoke on the “JD Bunkis” Podcast about the expectations for Matthews. “Matthews coming back… if you’re Matthews, you’re a player, this is kinda a moment that you got put the team on your back and take them back,” he said. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251125_BUS_533517_auston-matthews-1_e3fce5f6.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-533520"></figure><figcaption>Auston Matthews of the Maple Leafs is checked by William Carrier of the Hurricanes. Bruce Bennett/Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



Even with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mitch-marner">Mitch Marner</a> traded to the Vegas Golden Knights, Versteeg believes Matthews has the potential to carry the team. “For him to come in and play his best hockey ever, put the team on his back and start to show when he is engaged, when he is top of the game, he can carry a hockey club,” Versteeg added.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/nhl-news-senators-coach-travis-green-provides-crucial-update-on-captain-brady-tkachuks-recovery-timeline"></div>


<h2>Maple Leafs’ challenges beyond Matthews</h2>



While Matthews is the focus of leadership expectations, the team faces deeper structural issues. Marner’s departure has left a void in the lineup, but analysts argue the Leafs’ struggles extend beyond a single player. The roster lacks cohesion and a defined identity, complicating the path to recovery even once Matthews returns.



<h2>Looking ahead</h2>



Toronto will need both leadership and performance from Matthews if it hopes to climb out of the Eastern Conference basement. As the team prepares for its next matchup, all eyes will be on the captain to see if he can translate Versteeg’s call to action into results on the ice.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-maple-leafs">Toronto Maple Leafs’</a> struggles continued at the Bell Centre as the team fell 5-2 to the Montreal Canadiens, ending the Habs’ five-game losing streak. Injuries once again dictated the flow of the game, leaving Toronto shorthanded and unable to sustain pressure through the second period.



Key players remained sidelined, with captain <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/auston-matthews">Auston Matthews</a> missing his fifth straight game and forward Matthew Knies out for a third consecutive contest. Goaltender Anthony Stolarz, dealing with an upper-body injury from November 11 against the Boston Bruins, also remained unavailable, further straining the lineup.



Amid the team’s difficulties, former Maple Leafs defenseman Jay Rosehill voiced frustration on social media about the current state of the franchise. “This is just ugly. I can’t find a single positive or redeeming thing about the team right now. They have to get healthy. Even then, I still wonder,” Rosehill wrote.



<h2>Can Toronto find stability amid injuries and inconsistency?</h2>



Coach Craig Berube acknowledged the challenges during postgame comments, citing a lack of urgency as a key factor in Toronto’s struggles. “We go out there and we don’t play with any urgency or any confidence in a second period, because we get down a couple goals… This is a veteran hockey team. It’s inexcusable,” Berube said, according to TSN.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="503" height="197" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251123_BUS_532385_maple-leafs-1_fa84595e.webp&amp;width=503&amp;height=197" alt="" class="wp-image-532390"></figure></figure>



Forward William Nylander reflected on the team’s second-period lapses: “We came out dominating them. And then they make a nice play and score, and I feel like we get pushed back on our heels a little bit versus just keeping on the gas.” Toronto’s inability to maintain momentum across periods has emerged as a persistent issue this season.

The Maple Leafs will aim to regain health and consistency as they prepare for upcoming matchups, hoping to recover lost ground in the Atlantic Division.

With a very sincere statement, Craig Berube addressed one of the most concerning absences for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-maple-leafs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Toronto Maple Leafs</a> in the 2025-26 NHL season. With starting goaltender Anthony Stolarz out with an injury, the head coach provided a discouraging update on the Stanley Cup-winning netminder.



Stolarz has yet to return to the ice for the Maple Leafs in a crucial <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NHL</a> campaign. With the Buds missing several key pieces, Berube voiced an honest confession about how the 31-year-old goalie is looking. 



The netminder remains on Injured Reserve (IR) with an upper-body injury, which is considered day-to-day. However, Berube has now admitted the team may have underestimated just how troubling the setback might be.



“Obviously, worse than we thought. He’s not ready to get on the ice yet and do the things that he needs to. Hopefully soon, I don’t have a timetable,” Berube admitted, via The Leafs Nation’s Arun Srinivasan. “We weren’t sure at the time about the seriousness of it.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251120_BUS_530813_stolarz_1c117299.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Anthony Stolarz" class="wp-image-514742" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Anthony Stolarz #41 of the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Stolarz’s injury</h2>



Anthony Stolarz has been sidelined since sustaining an injury during Toronto’s 5-3 loss to the Boston Bruins on November 11. That night quickly turned into a nightmare for the Maple Leafs who didn’t just lose their goalie, but witnessed Auston Matthews exit the game after a scary hit against the boards. Neither has been back on the ice since.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/nhl-news-maple-leafs-coach-craig-berube-provides-auston-matthews-injury-update-ahead-of-blue-jackets-game"></div>


<h2>Maple Leafs’ goaltending room</h2>



If there’s a silver lining for the Maple Leafs, it’s that Joseph Woll has finally returned from his personal leave of absence. When Stolarz went down, concern grew in Toronto, as rookie Dennis Hildeby would have had to blossom into a starting role in record time.



However, Woll came back and has since taken over the starting crease in The Six. So far, the former third-round selection has made two appearances in the 2025-26 NHL campaign. Registering a 1-1-0 record with a 2.44 goals-against average (GAA) and a .934 save percentage (SV%), he has seemingly not missed a gear—just what Berube and the Leafs need amid such challenging times in Hogtown.

Berube has a negative injury update on Leafs star: 'Worse than we thought'

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/auston-matthews">Auston Matthews</a> remains sidelined with a lower-body injury, extending his absence from the Toronto Maple Leafs lineup beyond a week. The captain resumed on-ice skating this week for the first time since sustaining the injury in the Nov. 11 game against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-bruins">Boston Bruins</a>, but he will not play against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday.



Head coach Craig Berube offered an update hours before the matchup, highlighting Matthews’ progress while confirming that a return is not imminent. The team is also managing several other injuries to key players.



“Matthews is coming along,” Berube told the media following Wednesday’s practice. “He’s improving. Obviously, he won’t play tomorrow (today).” Matthews originally left the Boston contest midway through the second period after a hit from Nikita Zadorov, though Berube later clarified the injury occurred earlier in the game.



<h2>Matthews’ recovery and team context</h2>



The 28-year-old forward has recorded nine goals and five assists in 17 games this season. Last year, he was limited to 33 goals in 67 games due to an upper-body issue, making his availability critical for Toronto’s offensive output.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251120_BUS_530744_auston-matthews_3605d634.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-530755"></figure><figcaption>Auston Matthews #34 of the Toronto Maple Leafs warms up prior to a game. Bruce Bennett/Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



General manager Brad Treliving echoed Berube’s update, emphasizing ongoing progress without committing to a return date. “I would suspect Thursday’s probably not a possibility. I don’t anticipate too, too long,” Treliving said.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/nhl-news-mike-sullivan-delivers-direct-message-after-ny-rangers-road-streak-ends"></div>


In addition to Matthews, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-maple-leafs">Maple Leafs</a> are navigating absences for Matthew Knies, Brandon Carlo, Chris Tanev, Anthony Stolarz, and Nicolas Roy. Berube noted that Scott Laughton may be available, while Sammy Blais appears cleared after leaving Tuesday’s win over the St. Louis Blues following a heavy hit. 



<h2>What’s next for the Maple Leafs?</h2>



The Maple Leafs will host the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/columbus-blue-jackets">Blue Jackets</a> on Thursday, with puck drop set for 7:00 p.m. ET. As they wrap up the homestand, Toronto will aim to manage a depleted lineup. Final roster decisions are expected closer to game time.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-maple-leafs">Toronto Maple Leafs</a> are off to a rough start, losing five straight and sitting second-last in the Atlantic Division at 8-9-2. General manager Brad Treliving and head coach Craig Berube face scrutiny as fans and analysts question what went wrong.



Key players including <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/auston-matthews">Auston Matthews</a>, Chris Tanev, Brandon Carlo, Anthony Stolarz, and Scott Laughton are all on injured reserve, while Nicolas Roy will miss Tuesday’s matchup against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/st-louis-blues">St. Louis Blues.</a> 



Despite the rough start, General Manager Brad Treliving has spoken out, emphasizing accountability and support for the coaching staff. The message was clear: “I’ve got all of the faith in our coach right now,” Treliving said, according to Chris Johnston on “X”.



<h2>Is Berube’s job in danger amid Maple Leafs’ slump?</h2>



When asked about head coach Craig Berube, Treliving defended his decision to retain him, emphasizing that Berube’s coaching record and approach remain unchanged. “I’ve put the people in place on the ice, off the ice. So, the responsibility lies with myself,” Treliving added, speaking to reporters Tuesday morning in Toronto.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="493" height="182" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251118_BUS_529391_maple-leafs_6b48e752.webp&amp;width=493&amp;height=182" alt="" class="wp-image-529400"></figure></figure>



Treliving also noted the lack of consistency has been a key factor. “I think there’s been too much vanilla with our team. You can count on one hand how many complete games we’ve had,” he said.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/nhl-news-brad-marchand-receives-troubling-news-on-key-teammate-amid-rough-patch-for-panthers"></div>


<h2>What’s next for the Maple Leafs?</h2>



The Maple Leafs have a chance to respond immediately when the Blues visit Scotiabank Arena at 8:00 p.m. ET Tuesday night. Fans will be watching closely to see whether the team can regain form and demonstrate the resilience Treliving emphasized.
