""Look, I think we've actually had good scoring chances, opportunities, getting zone entries and stuff like that," Nylander said. "It's just being positive. We gotta hit the net a little bit more, in those high danger chances, get the shooting up. But you know, it'll be fine. We got the base there, we just need to get the puck in the net.""
""Meanwhile, Joe Thornton is the talk of the weekend in Toronto, as the London, Ontario native is set to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Sunday. Thornton spent most of his career with the Bruins and the San Jose Sharks, but had a brief stint with the Leafs in the 2020-21 season. Having played alongside him that season, Nylander spoke about what it was like skating with the soon to be Hall of Famer.""
The Toronto Maple Leafs practiced after a day off preparing to face the Boston Bruins. Through 14 games the Leafs have four power play goals and an 11.8% conversion rate, the third worst in the league. William Nylander said the team has created good scoring chances and zone entries but must increase shooting and finish high-danger opportunities. Nylander expressed confidence the power play will improve, saying the foundational elements are present and the team needs to get the puck in the net. Joe Thornton will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame after a long career and a brief 2020-21 stint with the Leafs, and his laid-back but competitive presence left a lasting impact.
