William Nylander Out Friday With Illness

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (illness) isn't available for Friday's matchup against the Washington Capitals, TSN's Mark Masters reports. The Swedish star will miss his fourth game of the season due to illness. Nylander has been held scoreless just twice all season, as he leads the Maple Leafs with 31 points (11 goals, 20 assists) in 20 games. With him out, Dakota Joshua will join the lineup on Friday. Joshua has made minimal impact in fantasy, posting five points (two goals, three assists) and 69 hits in 22 outings. Nylander could miss multiple games, as the Maple Leafs have a meeting with the Pittsburgh Penguins scheduled for Saturday night, leaving him little time to recover from his illness.

William Nylander Rejoins Maple Leafs Lineup Monday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (lower body) will re-enter the lineup on Monday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Due to a nagging lower-body injury, the Swedish star has featured in only one of the last four games. Nylander ranks fifth in the league with 12 assists and has tallied 15 points in nine games. He has finished only one of his outings without any points and boasts five multi-point efforts. Results-wise, the Maple Leafs have been mediocre so far in 2025-26, but they have the sixth-best scoring record in the league, and Nylander plays a big role in the attack.

William Nylander Remains Out Saturday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (lower body) will miss a second consecutive game on Saturday against the Philadelphia Flyers. The Swedish star participated in the morning skate, but he continues to deal with a lower-body injury. Nylander has been excellent for the Maple Leafs this season, registering 15 points (three goals, 12 assists) in nine outings. The Maple Leafs attack will also remain without Scott Laughton (lower body), but Calle Jarnkrok (lower body) returns on Saturday. Max Domi is set to fill Nylander's spot on the top line, giving him additional fantasy value. The 30-year-old has ended a seven-game dry spell with three points (two goals, one assist) in two games.

William Nylander Considered a Game-Time Call for Saturday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (lower body) practiced on Friday and is considered a game-time decision for Saturday's tilt against the Philadelphia Flyers. A lower-body injury has kept Nylander out of two of the last three games. The fact that Nylander practiced on Friday is an encouraging sign that he will be ready to play against the Flyers. Despite dealing with a lingering lower-body issue, Nylander has remained Toronto's top scorer for the season, with 15 points (three goals, 12 assists) in nine games. Nicholas Robertson has benefited from his absence, logging more ice time and scoring twice in three games. His fantasy stock will take a hit if Nylander returns Saturday.

William Nylander Questionable for Tuesday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (lower body) practiced on Monday but remains uncertain for Tuesday's contest against the Calgary Flames. Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube said Nylander is a "maybe" to play after he missed his first game of the season on Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres. Nylander leads the Maple Leafs with 14 points (three goals, 11 assists) in eight games this season. The Maple Leafs attack could also be without Calle Jarnkrok (lower body), who missed Monday's practice. The Swedish forward has contributed three goals this season -- only Auston Matthews and John Tavares (both five goals) have more for Toronto. Due to the injuries, Samuel Blais could make his Maple Leafs debut in Tuesday's game.

Maple Leafs Hope to Have William Nylander Back on Tuesday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (lower body) could be back in action on Tuesday against the Calgary Flames. The Swedish star missed his first game of the season on Saturday versus the Buffalo Sabres. Nylander sustained a lower-body injury in the same matchup on Friday night. On Saturday, he took the warmups with the team but was scratched for the contest. Following Saturday's 4-3 overtime win, Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube told reporters that he's hopeful Nylander can return to action on Tuesday night. In Nylander's absence, Nicholas Robertson started Saturday's game on the first line and scored Toronto's first goal.

William Nylander Good to Go Saturday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (undisclosed) will play in Saturday's contest against the Buffalo Sabres. Initially, Nylander was considered a game-time decision after he missed the end of Friday's tilt against Buffalo due to an undisclosed injury. Nylander has been in special form to start the season, recording multiple points in five of eight appearances. He leads his team with 14 points (three goals, 11 assists) in eight games. On Friday, Nylander notched a goal against Buffalo, bringing his total to 29 points (11 goals, 18 assists) in 34 career games in the matchup.

William Nylander Injured on Friday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (undisclosed) was hurt late in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. He sat out the final 5:51 of action after taking a hit from Sabres forward Jason Zucker. Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube said after the game that Nylander still needed further evaluation. Toronto and Buffalo will have a rematch on Saturday, and fantasy managers should regard Nylander as questionable for the game. Losing Nylander for an extended period would be a massive blow for the Maple Leafs, as he's been in a class of his own offensively on the team this season. With eight games played, Nylander has amassed 14 points (three goals, 11 assists). His exit from the lineup would give Nicholas Robertson or Sammy Blais a chance to play.

William Nylander Tallies Three Points in Season-Opening Win

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander contributed a goal and two assists as the team kicked off the 2025-26 NHL campaign with a 5-2 home victory against the Montreal Canadiens. The visitors made it a tough game for Nylander's crew, but Toronto was able to shake them off in the final frame. After Morgan Rielly put the Maple Leafs 3-2 up, Nylander notched a goal and an assist with Montreal's net empty. His first helper came just a minute into the game when Bobby McMann lit the lamp. Nylander has registered 269 points (125 goals, 144 assists) over the last three seasons and looks poised for another highly productive year as one of Toronto's top forwards.

William Nylander Shines In Game 1 With Three Points

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander got straight down to business in Game 1 of the second-round series against the Florida Panthers on Monday night, posting three first-period points in a 5-4 victory.

Nylander needed only 33 seconds to open the scoring and finished the first frame with two goals and one assist, becoming the second player in franchise history to register a three-point opening period in a playoff game. The Swedish star has been rocking throughout the postseason, amassing five goals and 12 points in seven games. On Wednesday, he has a chance to record a third consecutive three-point outing.

William Nylander Leads The Way In Game 6 Victory

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander had two goals and one assist as the team punched its ticket to the second round of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs with a 4-2 road victory over the Ottawa Senators. The Swedish star notched a power-play assist on an Auston Matthews goal in the first period and then scored once in both the second and third periods, potting his second goal of the night in an empty-net situation. Nylander, who turned 29 on Thursday, became the first Maple Leafs player with three points in a series-clinching game since Wendel Clark in Game 7 of the 1994 Conference Semifinals. He has been in good form in the postseason, notching a team-high nine points (three goals, six assists) in six games, but will now face a much tougher challenge in a matchup against the Florida Panthers.
