"Nylander is a true game-time decision after leaving Friday's contest during the third period with an unspecified ailment. Berube added that he expects Rielly will play but he will be monitoring him during the warmup. "If he's able to go, he'll play. We'll see how he feels coming in here today," Berube said of Nylander on Saturday afternoon. Nylander leads the Maple Leafs with three goals and 14 points, ranking second in NHL scoring behind Vegas Golden Knights forward Jack Eichel prior to Saturday's slate."
"Rielly suffered an injury during Tuesday's loss to the New Jersey Devils and missed Friday's game. The 31-year-old has recorded two goals and six points through seven games this season. Nick Robertson will draw back into the lineup after being scratched for Friday's game against the Sabres. Robertson has recorded one assist through seven games this season. Berube has been forced to reshuffle his lines amid a wave of injuries and inconsistent play throughout October."
