"William Nylander found himself at the center of the action in the Toronto Maple Leafs' much-needed win over the St. Louis Blues, both for better and for worse. The star winger delivered the night's most electrifying highlight-reel moment, showcasing the skill that has come to define his game, but he was also involved in a miscue that made its way onto the wrong side of the reel."
"After being called out by general manager Brad Treliving earlier in the day, the Leafs and Nylander had an unfortunate start versus St. Louis. Less than two minutes into the first period, Nylander attempted to swat a puck away from danger in front of Leafs' goaltender Joseph Woll. Instead, the Maple Leafs' star winger batted the puck past Woll and gave the Blues the early lead."
The Maple Leafs entered the game shorthanded with Auston Matthews, Chris Tanev, Scott Laughton, Nicolas Roy, and Anthony Stolarz injured and Matthew Knies listed with a last-minute designation. William Nylander produced both an electrifying highlight-reel play and an early miscue when he accidentally batted a puck past goaltender Joseph Woll to give the Blues a quick lead. General manager Brad Treliving had criticized the team's disconnect earlier in the day. Toronto rallied, surrendered a power-play equalizer by Dalibor Dvorksy, and relied on Woll's saves before clinching a 3-2 overtime victory to snap a five-game losing streak.
