"William Nylander has been the Maple Leafs' best forward for the majority of this season. Other than a slow December, Nylander has produced on a nightly basis, and tonight just reassured how important he is to the Maple Leafs' lineup. Nylander was involved early and remained a factor throughout the game, generating offence and creating chances whenever he had the puck. For a player coming off an absence, it was an encouraging sign to see him immediately produce at a high level."
"Nylander is the Maple Leafs leading scorer with 44 points in 34 games played. Many Leafs fans were skeptical about where Nylander would fit within the Leafs' lineup, as the team looked to have found a groove, but he was the driving force of the second line alongside John Tavares and Matias Maccelli. The trio combined for five points, including three goals."
William Nylander returned from a lower-body injury after missing six games and led the Toronto Maple Leafs with a three-point performance in a 5-0 win over the Canucks. Nylander extended his point streak to nine games and remains the Maple Leafs' leading scorer with 44 points in 34 games. He centered the second line with John Tavares and Matias Maccelli, with the trio combining for five points and three goals. Nylander generated offense consistently, carried the puck through the neutral zone, and created chances on his own. The Maple Leafs expect him to shoulder a heavy offensive load as they chase a playoff spot.
