Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander has been dealing with a lower-body injury, and on Tuesday, there were concerns about his playing status.
William Nylander is one of the best players on the Toronto Maple Leafs, and he is very much necessary to the success of the team.
However, on Friday, against the Buffalo Sabres, the forward suffered a lower-body injury that kept him out for Saturday's game.
On Monday, Nylander was present at practice, although he didn't fully participate. This subsequently led to concerns about his playing status on Tuesday.
Nylander was out there for the warm-up this evening and was even playing with his linemates, Auston Matthews and Bobby McMann.
Is William Nylander playing tonight?
According to Luke Fox of Sportsnet, it is now confirmed that Nylander will be playing tonight, which is massive for the team.
Having William Nylander back will be huge for team morale as they take on a team that is having a truly rough time to start the season.
The Maple Leafs need to get a win for momentum's sake, and Nylander can help them get that win.
With Auston Matthews and Bobby McMann, we imagine that Nylander will settle in nicely and try to rack up some points.
He's had a strong start to the year so far, and while there have been some hiccups, everyone knows that Nylander is not to be messed with.
