According to coach Paul Maurice, Matthias (lower body) could return to the lineup in December, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthias, who has already sat out 18 games with this ailment, could be out a few more as he works his way back. In his 10 appearances this year, the 28-year-old averaged 11:50 of ice time per night resulting in three points, 12 shots on goal, and seven hits. Once cleared to return, the winger will likely displace Brandon Tanev from the game-day lineup.
