"Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube says that William Nylander will travel with the team to Detroit for the team's game on Sunday, despite leaving Saturday's contest with a lower-body injury. That was the fullest extent of an update Berube would offer on his star winger's injury status, after Nylander left the game just over halfway into the second period. It's unknown at the time how the injury was sustained, but Nylander appeared to leave the game just over halfway into the second period."
""It's just not going in, that's the way it is," Nylander said following Sunday's game. I don't know if I've felt like this before, or had a stretch like this. I'm not sure, I don't feel like I've had that in the NHL, at least." Nylander was slumping hard heading into the Leafs' win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday, with no goals in his past 11 games leading up to that game and only five assists in that span."
