William Nylander - NHL News & Rumors

Unlikely to play Monday Nylander (lower body) isn't expected to play against Minnesota on Monday, according to Joshua Kloke of The Athletic.

Impact Nylander won't play against Winnipeg on Saturday, and it's unlikely that he will be available for Monday's matchup versus the Wild. He has amassed 17 goals and a team-leading 48 points through 37 appearances this season. It's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup.

Expected to miss Saturday's game Nylander (lower body) isn't expected to play Saturday in Winnipeg, per Anna Dua of Sportsnet.

Impact Nylander left Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to Vegas because of the injury. He also missed six games from Dec. 28-Jan. 8 due to the issue. Nylander is still being evaluated, so there's no timetable for his return yet. Calle Jarnkrok should have an opportunity to play regularly during Nylander's absence.

Aggravates previous injury Nylander left Thursday's game versus the Golden Knights after aggravating his previous lower-body injury, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Nylander previously missed six games due to the issue, and he could be in line for another absence. The 29-year-old's at 17 goals and 48 points over 37 appearances this season, so any time missed will take some power out of the Maple Leafs' lineup. His status for Saturday in Winnipeg has yet to be determined, but expect Toronto to take things cautiously with the star forward.

Exits Thursday's game Nylander (lower body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Golden Knights.

Impact Nylander had a goal and an assist in the first period prior to his exit. The 29-year-old forward has racked up seven points over his last four outings since returning from a previous lower-body issue, though it's unclear if the injury he sustained Thursday is related to that one. His status for Saturday's game against the Jets will be up in the air until more information is available.

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.
