Winnik (head) confirmed he would return to the lineup Wednesday against the Bruins, David Alter of MapleLeafs.com reports. With Winnik enduring no setbacks during Wednesday's morning skate, he'll return to the ice after missing only two games following a scary fall to the ice last week against Colorado. Prior to suffering the injury, Winnik had been thriving while being deployed in a top-six role of late. He's expected to return to second-line duty Wednesday, where he'll look to build on the seven points in 13 games he's compiled on the season.
