"Nylander had a solid first period, registering a goal and an assist. Nylander, before recently returning to the Maple Leafs lineup, missed six games with a lower-body injury. Nylander was injured back on December 17th in a game against the Ottawa Senators, during an awkward collision with Artem Zub. The cause of the injury was not confirmed, but it would be hard to imagine that it doesn't have to do with his prior injury troubles this season."
"The Swedish native has been the driving force of the Maple Leafs' offence this season. He leads the team in points, producing 46 points, including 17 goals in 36 games. Nylander had a cold month of December, but since the Christmas break has turned the heat up once again. In Nylander's absence, the Leafs will have to shuffle the lineup, likely replacing Knies on the second line with John Tavares and Matias Maccelli."
The Maple Leafs led 3-1 after the first period, but William Nylander left the game and will not return due to a lower-body injury. Nylander recorded a goal and an assist in the opening period before exiting. He had previously missed six games after suffering a lower-body injury on December 17 in a collision with Artem Zub. The cause of the current issue was not confirmed, though it likely relates to his prior injury troubles this season. Nylander leads Toronto with 46 points (17 goals in 36 games) and has improved since the Christmas break. The team will shuffle lines, likely replacing Knies on the second line with John Tavares and Matias Maccelli, and will await a medical update ahead of Saturday’s game versus the Winnipeg Jets and the upcoming five-game homestand beginning with the Minnesota Wild.
