For the latest Leafs updates or Follow @mikeinbuffalo on Twitter One of the reasons why it is expected that the Columbus Blue Jackets will be a tough matchup for the Toronto Maple Leafs is due to them getting many of their top players back from the injured list, but the Leafs are also benefiting from the four months off. On defense, both Morgan Rielly and Jake Muzzin are 100% after spending significant stretches on injured reserve, and forward Ilya Mikheyev is fully recovered from a wrist laceration suffered in late December. The 25-year-old Russian had another impressive day at the Ford Performance Centre, scoring a hat trick in the club’s final inter-squad scrimmage. The big winger has looked very comfortable playing in a top-six role alongside John Tavares and was named the MVP of training camp with five goals.
