"William Nylander has been progressing as he skated before the Maple Leafs' practice Thursday morning. Although it is a good sign to have Nylander back on the ice with the Maple Leafs, the severity of the injury may be more concerning than originally suspected. Nylander was originally a game-time decision against the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday, but has been moved to day-to-day."
"The Maple Leafs can't afford to be without Nylander for much longer. They are in the heart of their season and trying to climb back into a playoff spot. The Maple Leafs will need more performances like the one we saw during Thursday night's win against the New Jersey Devils. It was a complete 60-minute game from everyone in the lineup, something the Leafs have not been able to do all season long."
William Nylander suffered a lower-body injury during a game against the Ottawa Senators and has missed three consecutive Maple Leafs games. He skated before practice Thursday but remains day-to-day after being downgraded from a game-time decision. Nylander leads the team with 14 goals and 27 assists and is central to Toronto's offense. The Maple Leafs recorded a strong 60-minute win over the New Jersey Devils and earned three of four possible points without Nylander, but prolonged absence would strain their playoff push. Toronto faces a struggling Winnipeg Jets team and hopes for Nylander's return before the matchup with the New York Islanders.
