Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner and defenseman Rasmus Sandin will return to the team's lineup Saturday against the Ottawa Senators, head coach Sheldon Keefe said, per The Hockey News' David Alter.

Marner hasn't played since Dec. 1 due to a shoulder injury he suffered after colliding with teammate Jake Muzzin in practice. The winger ranks fifth on the team with 21 points in 24 games.

Sandin last played Dec. 5 against the Winnipeg Jets when he was on the wrong end of a knee-on-knee hit from Neal Pionk, who was suspended two games for the play. The 21-year-old Swede has registered eight assists in 25 games this season while averaging 16:15 per contest. He leads all qualified NHL defensemen with a 62.5% expected goals share, per Natural Stat Trick.

Here's how the Leafs lined up in practice on Friday:

Muzzin, Morgan Rielly, and William Nylander are listed as questionable for Saturday after being removed from COVID-19 protocol.
