"Craig Berube gave a positive message after the game, regarding Nylander, saying that he will travel with the Leafs to Detroit for Sunday night's matchup against the Red Wings. The Leafs are not certain if he will play Sunday, as they will wait to see how he is feeling. It's unknown how the injury occurred and what truly caused it, but the Maple Leafs could have gotten terrible news going forward, especially for a team crawling back into the playoff circle."
"William Nylander has played a vital role for the Maple Leafs this season. He is their leading scorer with 14 goals and 27 assists for 41 points. The Maple Leafs as a whole have struggled to win games, their stars haven't been performing to what they are capable of, and there have been lots of inconsistencies throughout their lineup. If Nylander is not able to play on Sunday, we could see the return of Easton Cowan in the lineup."
The Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Ottawa Senators 6-4 while William Nylander left in the second period after an apparent harmless play behind the Senators' bench and did not return. Craig Berube said Nylander will travel with the team to Detroit but playing status for Sunday remains undecided. Nylander missed time earlier this season with a lower-body injury and had struggled in December before scoring three goals in his last two games. He leads the team with 14 goals and 27 assists. If unavailable, Easton Cowan could return to the lineup. The Leafs face a crucial Eastern Conference stretch that will affect the playoff race.
