William Nylander - NHL News & Rumors

Extends goal streak Nylander scored a goal on four shots and earned an assist in Monday's 4-3 victory over Colorado.

Impact Nylander has scored a goal in four straight games, though his streak is separated by a six-game stint on the shelf with a lower-body injury. With 16 goals in 35 games this season, the Calgary native will have to pick up the pace if he is going to reach the 40-goal threshold for the fourth straight year.

Impressive in return from injury Nylander (undisclosed) had a goal and two assists in a 5-0 win over Vancouver on Saturday.

Impact Nylander had missed six games with a lower-body injury; it was his first game back. He stood out on the ice and almost got a second goal, only to miss the net on a wide-open play from an acute angle. Nylander has 15 goals, 29 assists and 69 shots in 34 games this season. Those shots stand out in a significant way -- they put him on pace for less than 150 shots on the season. Nylander has put up four straight 250-plus shot seasons, including one with 316. He's still a prolific scorer, so we're not concerned. But anyone who drafted him to pad their SOG category will be disappointed.
