Maple Leafs captain returns against the LA Kings.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will have their captain in the lineup Tuesday night when they face the Los Angeles Kings. 

John Tavares has missed the last seven NHL games with a broken finger suffered Oct. 16 after taking a shot off the hand from Leafs defenceman Morgan Rielly in a 4-3 loss in Washington. 

The 29-year-old Tavares declared himself ready to go Tuesday morning at Scotiabank Arena.

"Made some really good progress,'' he said. "Excited to get back out.''

The Leafs have gone 3-2-2 without Tavares.
