"After noticing that he was on camera during the lopsided loss, a frustrated Nylander quickly stuck up his middle finger before the network could cut away. Nylander, joined in the box by Chris Tanev, Dakota Joshua, Calle Jarnkrok, and Philippe Myers, has missed the last five games for the Leafs with a groin injury. Toronto has won just one of those games without Nylander, their leading scorer with 48 points (17g, 31a), out of the lineup."
"The Maple Leafs eventually dropped the game 4-1 to the Avalanche, which was their fourth home loss in a row and their sixth defeat in seven games. Toronto currently sits five points out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Nylander has recently resumed skating, but the Maple Leafs have yet to provide a timeline for his expected return to game action. The 29-year-old winger is due to represent Sweden as one of his nation's star players at next month's Milano-Cortina Olympics."
William Nylander reacted to being shown on camera during Toronto's 4-1 loss to Colorado by raising his middle finger while seated in the press box. He sat with injured or scratched teammates Chris Tanev, Dakota Joshua, Calle Jarnkrok and Philippe Myers. Nylander has missed five games with a groin injury and is the team's leading scorer with 48 points. He apologized on Instagram Story with a heart emoji and a message saying he did not mean to upset anyone. The NHL is investigating the gesture and punishment is possible. Toronto has lost six of seven games and sits five points outside a playoff spot. Nylander has resumed skating and is slated for the Milano-Cortina Olympics.
