William Nylander missed game one against the Boston Bruins, a brutal 5-1 mauling of the Maple Leafs, and now ahead of game two, the intrigue continues. While Nylander was skating on Monday morning, there's no confirmation yet on his status ahead of game two, but now a Maple Leafs Insider has given details on the injury situation.
According to Schmaltz, it was a hit that Nylander took in the regular season finale that has held him back, and while he can't confirm the official diagnosis, it's a legitimate injury that kept him out of game one.
Nylander skated on Monday, but was skating with the healthy scratches at points, so with the Maple Leafs staring down a potential 0-2 hole, the decision to be made on Nylander here is a huge one.
