Leafs Hour: The Captain's Return

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee check in with the Leafs' injuries as they head into a weekend matchup against the Lightning. They discuss the returns of Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies, the secrecy around Matthews, what to expect from the 5-forward power play, murmurs of movement on a potential John Tavares extension and Nick Robertson's future in Toronto. Later, JD Bunkis (30:45) joins the show to discuss how the organization handled Matthews' injury, the locker room politics of Mitch Marner's extension and which of the call-ups have a shot at staying up with the big boys when the team heals up.
