William Nylander Doesn't Have Timeline for Return

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (groin) missed a fifth consecutive game on Sunday against the Colorado Avalanche and doesn't have a timeline for his return. The Swedish star skated before practice on Saturday as he works his way back from a groin injury. Nylander has showcased superb form when in the lineup this season, amassing 48 points (17 goals, 31 assists) in 37 appearances. He is still Toronto's leading scorer despite missing 15 games over the course of the season. With Nylander unavailable, Scott Laughton joined the top-six group on Sunday.

William Nylander Misses Second Straight Game Monday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (groin) will be sidelined for a second consecutive game on Monday versus the Minnesota Wild. According to Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube, there isn't a timeline for Nylander's return. Toronto may also be without Matthew Knies (undisclosed) on Monday after he missed the morning skate. Knies has been Nylander's replacement on the second line. With Knies also unavailable, Scott Laughton skated in the spot on Monday morning. Laughton's fantasy value would increase significantly if he sticks on the line as John Tavares' and Matias Maccelli's partner for Monday's game.

William Nylander Out Against Jets

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (lower body) will be absent from the lineup on Saturday against the Winnipeg Jets. Nylander aggravated a lower-body injury this week and may have to skip multiple games. "Right now, I don't expect him in today for sure, Monday (against the Minnesota Wild) probably not. I don't know how long it's going to be," Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube said. Matthew Knies is expected to slot into Nylander's spot on the second line against Winnipeg. Knies ended a season-worst four-game point drought with two assists in Thursday's overtime loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.

William Nylander Aggravates Lower-Body Injury Thursday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (lower body) left Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Vegas Golden Knights after logging only 2:17 of ice time. Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube told reporters after the game that Nylander aggravated a previous lower-body injury. The Swedish star recently missed six games due to a lower-body ailment. Thursday was his fourth game back in the lineup, and Nylander recorded a goal and an assist before his early exit. Unfortunately, it looks like he could now miss more time. Nylander paces the Maple Leafs with 48 points (17 goals, 31 assists) in 37 games. Matthew Knies, who started Thursday's contest on the third line, might move back into the top six if Nylander isn't available Saturday versus the Winnipeg Jets.

William Nylander Returns From Six-Game Absence

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (lower body) was activated from Injured Reserve and will return from a six-game absence on Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks. Nylander is available after missing a couple of weeks due to a lower-body injury. Despite missing time, Nylander remains Toronto's top scorer. He has amassed 41 points (14 goals, 27 assists) in 33 games. The Swedish star makes his return in a good matchup, as only the Anaheim Ducks have allowed more goals than the Canucks this season. He'll be on the second line with Matias Maccelli and John Tavares and will also join the first power-play unit.

William Nylander Misses Fourth Straight Game

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (lower body) will miss his fourth straight game on Saturday against the New York Islanders. "He's progressing," Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube told reporters on Saturday morning. "I think he's trending in the right direction, and now my hope is maybe he's back with us Monday on the ice practicing". If Nylander can get through Monday's practice, he may be ready to return to action on Tuesday night against the Florida Panthers. Nylander has amassed a team-high 41 points (14 goals, 27 assists) in 33 appearances. Easton Cowan has played regularly during Nylander's absence, but he hasn't made a fantasy impact.

William Nylander Remains Out Thursday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (lower body) will sit out a third consecutive game on Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets. The Swedish superstar is reportedly progressing and skated before Thursday's practice, but he still needs a bit more time to recover from a lower-body injury he sustained last weekend against the Ottawa Senators. Nylander's play has been outstanding this season, as he has totaled 41 points (14 goals, 27 assists) in 33 appearances. Fortunately for the Maple Leafs, they will have Auston Matthews (lower body) back against Winnipeg, giving the offense a boost.

William Nylander Misses Second Consecutive Game

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (lower body) will miss a second consecutive game on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils. He remains day-to-day after suffering a lower-body injury in Saturday's win over the Ottawa Senators. Auston Matthews (lower body) is a game-time call and could join Nylander on the sidelines Tuesday night. If that's the case, players like Nicholas Robertson, Scott Laughton, and Bobby McMann will have additional fantasy value. Nylander's next chance to play will come on Thursday night against the Winnipeg Jets.

William Nylander Out Against Red Wings

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (lower body) won't play on Sunday against the Detroit Red Wings, David Alter of The Hockey News reports. The Swedish superstar was injured during Saturday's win over the Ottawa Senators and will be replaced in the lineup by Easton Cowan. Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube noted Nylander is considered day-to-day. Cowan has been inconsistent during his rookie campaign and sat out a third consecutive game on Saturday night as a healthy scratch. With just four goals and 11 points in 26 games, his production isn't good enough to warrant a spot on fantasy rosters.

William Nylander Sustains Lower-Body Injury Saturday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (lower body) scored in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Ottawa Senators but had to leave the contest midway through the second period. Nylander's early exit on Saturday casts doubt on his availability for Sunday's game against the Detroit Red Wings, though he is not expected to be sidelined for long. "He's coming on the trip, so that's a good sign," Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube said after Saturday's win. "We'll see how he is tomorrow." Nylander is Toronto's top scorer, posting 41 points (14 goals, 27 assists) in 33 outings. Easton Cowan, who has been a healthy scratch for three games, will likely play against Detroit if Nylander isn't available.

William Nylander a Game-Time Decision Saturday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (illness) is a game-time decision on Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers. The Swedish superstar missed the morning skate due to illness. Fellow forward Dakota Joshua (illness) is also a game-time call for Saturday's matchup. Nylander was dropped to the third line on Thursday against the San Jose Sharks, but he still made a big impact in a 3-2 overtime loss with two assists, which ended his point drought at four games. Dry spells have become very rare for Nylander, who leads the Maple Leafs with 23 assists and 34 points in 26 appearances. Bobby McMann (suspension) is available to return to the lineup Saturday and may replace either Nylander or Joshua. Matias Maccelli is also an option to rejoin the lineup.

William Nylander Available Saturday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (illness) will return from a one-game absence on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He missed Friday's 4-2 loss to the Washington Capitals due to illness. In total, Nylander has now missed four games this season, but he is still Toronto's leading scorer. In 20 outings, Nylander has registered 31 points (11 goals, 20 assists. The Swedish star has notched two points in each of his last two games and has been held off the score sheet just twice all season. Max Domi, who was a healthy scratch on Friday, will also re-enter the lineup on Saturday, with Calle Jarnkrok and Matias Maccelli exiting the Maple Leafs lineup.

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 Won't Play on Wednesday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (lower body) will miss Wednesday's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun reports. Nylander recently sustained a lower-body injury. While he played through it on Tuesday night against the Calgary Flames, the Maple Leafs will provide him with some time off on Wednesday. Nylander bagged an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win and continues to lead his team in scoring, boasting 15 points (three goals, 12 assists) through nine appearances. On Wednesday, Sammy Blais will replace Nylander in the lineup, making his Maple Leafs debut.

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
