William Nylander did not play in overtime against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night, while Chris Tanev had to leave the game early with an arm injury.
Overall, these are two player who are integral to the success of the team, and fans were understandably worried when they saw that they were not at practice on Wednesday.
Today, Craig Berube was on "The Real Kyper & Bourne" where he was asked about Nylander and Tanev's status against the New York Rangers on Friday.
As Berube explained, Nylander is very likely to be good to go on Friday, which is incredible news.
Meanwhile, Tanev is going to need more time and is definitely not going to be on the ice for tomorrow's game.
It was also reported a couple of days ago that the Toronto Maple Leafs could be getting back Max Pacioretty on Friday.
This would be a nice injection of offense into the lineup, although it will be interesting to see if he will get back on the second line given the fact that Pontus Holmberg has been a stud over the past couple of games.
Whatever the case may be, the Leafs are on a three-game winning streak and as a result, they are first in the Atlantic Division.
If they can keep up this pace, then perhaps they will go into the playoffs with a huge advantage.
