William Nylander Enjoys Another Multi-Point Outing

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander recorded a power-play assist and the game-winning goal in Sunday's 3-2 victory over Utah. Toronto fell behind to a Logan Cooley power-play goal, but prolific work from Nylander and Mitchell Marner eventually led the Maple Leafs to another win. Incredibly, the team has gone 7-1-0 with Auston Matthews (upper body) out of the lineup. Nylander has had a great month with 12 points (six goals, six assists) in 10 games and finds himself among the league's top goal-scorers. With 21 games played, Nylander has lit the lamp 14 times, adding 10 assists.

William Nylander Scores Goal No. 11 On Saturday

Toronto Maple Leafs right wing William Nylander tallied his 11th goal of the campaign and an assist in their victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday evening. Nylander would score the eventual game-winner in the second frame on the man-advantage. Then, in the final frame, Nylander would tally an assist on John Tavares' power-play goal. The 28-year-old now sits tied with the most goals in the NHL with 11 alongside Nikita Kucherov and Sam Reinhart. Over his past seven games, Nylander has tallied six goals and five assists with six of those points coming on the power-play. Fantasy managers should continue to lock Nylander into their lineup as he is an elite scorer who is on pace to average 1+ points-per-game for the third-straight season.

William Nylander Pots Two Goals Versus Seattle

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander tallied two goals against Seattle on Thursday, helping the team to a 4-1 victory. Both goals came in the second period, with Nylander's first marker turning out to be the game-winning goal. The Maple Leafs have been inconsistent early in the season, and the same applies to Nylander. He's racked up eight goals and 12 points in 11 games, but Nylander has finished most of his outings (6) scoreless. Five points (three goals, two assists) have come in the past two games. Nylander's linemates, John Tavares and Max Pacioretty, have also benefited from his hot form, but it remains to be seen if he can keep it up on a consistent basis.

William Nylander Notches Three Points In Monday's Win

Toronto Maple Leafs right wing William Nylander starred in Monday's 5-2 victory over Tampa Bay, scoring two goals and recording one assist. His second marker ended up as the game-winning goal in the contest. Nylander has hit top gear lately, registering three multi-point efforts across four games. All of his five goals and two assists for the season have come during that stretch. He's primed to do more damage on Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets, who are giving up 3.60 goals per game. Last season, Nylander scored in all three of his appearances against Columbus, bagging seven points in total.

William Nylander A Game-Time Decision On Wednesday

Toronto Maple Leafs right wing William Nylander (illness) is regarded as a game-time call for Wednesday's matchup against the Kings. The Swedish forward has been battling an illness after opening his scoring account for the season with two goals in Saturday's 4-2 victory over Pittsburgh. Nylander has averaged 18:25 of ice time on the second line while also rolling with the first power-play unit. Nicholas Robertson will replace Nylander in the top six if he can't play on Wednesday. Robertson has been quiet to start the year, going scoreless in three games with four shots on goal.

William Nylander Exits Early Versus Canadiens

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander was forced to exit Thursday's preseason clash against the Montreal Canadiens early due to an undisclosed injury. Nylander was hurt in a collision with Canadiens forward Christian Dvorak. He left the contest after logging only 4:08 of ice time across five shifts. The Maple Leafs called his removal from the game a precautionary move, so it looks like Nylander, luckily, avoided serious injury. The Swedish star has missed only one regular-season game across the last three campaigns and clearly doesn't like to sit out any action. Nylander, who's set to start 2024-25 as a center, has posted back-to-back 40-goal years and crushed his career-high with a 98-point effort last season.

William Nylander Appears Set To Make Playoff Debut Saturday

Toronto Maple Leafs winger William Nylander (undisclosed) is expected to play in Game 4 of their first-round series against the Boston Bruins on Saturday. Nylander missed the first three games of the series with an undisclosed injury that has been widely speculated on, but the team hasn't confirmed what the injury was. Willy will slot back into the third line and first powerplay unit and the team will hope that he can provide an offensive spark. Connor Dewar will be healthy scratched if Nylander does end up playing.

William Nylander Reportedly Dealing With Migraine Issue

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (head) has yet to appear in the first three games of the team's first-round playoff series against the Boston Bruins, and now we may know why. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman writes that multiple sources have told him Nylander is dealing with a migraine so severe that team doctors have tested to see if he had suffered a concussion, but an actual diagnosis has been hard to come by. Nylander has practiced with the team throughout the series and has stayed on for extra work but has not been able to suit up for a game to this point. The Swede skated in all 82 of the team's regular-season games, tallying 40 goals and 98 points in that time. The Leafs trail the Bruins 2-1 in the series with Game 4 coming on Saturday in Toronto.

William Nylander Looking Unlikely For Game 3

Toronto Maple Leafs winger William Nylander is unlikely to suit up for a third straight game on Wednesday against the visiting Boston Bruins. Nylander stayed out late with the other projected scratches during Wednesday's morning skate, indicating he will remain out after it was believed he was likely to return. Sportsnet's Nick Alberga reported on Wednesday that it is believed the star winger is dealing with a head injury. Nylander skated in all 82 regular-season games but didn't feel right ahead of Saturday's series opener. He tied a career-high with 40 goals and posted a career-best 98 points in his 82 games this season. The Leafs and Bruins are knotted at one game apiece in another first-round postseason matchup.

William Nylander A Possibility For Game 3

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (undisclosed) could potentially return to the lineup for Wednesday's Game 3 of the first round against the Boston Bruins. The star winger has missed the first two games of the postseason with an undisclosed injury, but head coach Sheldon Keefe said he could return in Game 3. "There's not much happening for us today except for getting ready to travel, but it's a possibility for us tomorrow, I guess, is all I would say." Nylander tied a career-high with 40 goals this season and posted a career-high 98 points while skating in all 82 regular-season contests. The Maple Leafs tied the series with a 3-2 win on Monday night before the series shifts to Toronto on Wednesday.

William Nylander Doesn't Practice Friday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (undisclosed) did not take part in Friday's practice ahead of Saturday's Game 1 of the postseason against the Boston Bruins. No reason has been provided for his absence, while head coach Sheldon Keefe said Nylander was a possibility for Saturday's postseason opener. He had recently been skating on a line with Pontus Holmberg and Matthew Knies as Keefe has spread out his top offensive weapons. Knies was promoted to the line featuring John Tavares and Mitch Marner at Friday's practice. It was a big season the Swedish veteran matched a career-high with 40 goals and notched a career-high 98 points and 316 shots on goal while skating in all 82 regular-season games.

William Nylander Signs Record Deal With Maple Leafs

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander has signed the largest contract in franchise history by agreeing to an eight-year, $92 million extension. The deal kicks in next season and has an average annual value of $11.5 million. Nylander is finishing off a six-year, $45 million pact and was set to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer. The 27-year-old has been worth every cent as he leads the team this season with 33 assists and 54 points in 37 games. He has only just entered his prime, and the new deal ensures that Nylander stays a major part of Toronto's plans.

William Nylander Extends Point Streak To 16 Games

Nylander becomes the 15th different player to have a point streak of at least 16 games to start a season, and he will look to keep the streak alive against the Wild on Sunday.

William Nylander Moving To Center In Training Camp

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander will be used as a center at the start of training camp. The 27-year-old was initially drafted as a center back in 2014, but he's mostly played on the wing for the team, featuring in the middle only in the case of injuries. "We'll commit to it for a bit here," head coach Sheldon Keefe said of the decision. "(We're) not committing to any sort of specific period of time, but just to say it's not going to be a one-off or a one-day thing or a one preseason game. We want to give it some time to come together just to see what that looks like." Nylander has previously played at center for Keefe in the AHL. Should he fit into the position, the Maple Leafs would find themselves with some incredible center depth, as Keefe could then send out Nylander, Auston Matthews, and John Tavares in different units.

Mitchell Marner is topping the Maple Leafs scoring charts with 10 points, but Nylander has also been very productive in the series, going for seven points in four games.
