Craig Berube on William Nylander filling in at center in practice without Matthews and Domi: "He's really good in the faceoff dot, and he was fine in the middle today... He looked good to me"

"Auston Matthews is progressing normally with no setbacks. Our focus is on getting him to 100% recovery, especially with two games in the upcoming days."

"Everybody is different when it comes to injuries. Though I'd like Matthews back, we have to keep moving forward without him for now."

"Max Domi is experiencing a maintenance issue, but he will be good to go. Players in his situation can struggle mentally; he just needs to push through."

"We’ve considered William Nylander at center before, and he showed good performance taking faceoffs today in practice, which is promising for his versatility."
