TORONTO -- Auston Matthews participated in his first full practice with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday and could return from an upper-body injury when they visit the Florida Panthers on Wednesday (7:30 p.m. ET; SCRIPPS, SNW, SNO, SN1).

Matthews has been out of the lineup since Nov. 3 with the injury and flew to Germany last week to undergo treatment.

Whenever he does return, though, the Maple Leafs are counting on Matthews to pick up from where he left off. The San Ramon, California native amassed five goals and six assists in 13 games before disaster struck and leads the NHL with 373 career goals since making his debut nine years ago.
