I'm sure we will see more of that down the stretch. No need to overwork anyone with the congested schedule and playoffs around the corner.

It's not just zone starts, it's who he plays against. Other teams focus on Matthews/Marner, which means Tavares/Nylander get secondary match-ups.

What’s our argument for when he put up the same amount of points with matthews?
Incoming ‘he’s a product of Matthews argument’ lol

Really splitting hairs there aren’t you. 61 points to matthews 69 points from his first full season in the league. Super witty reply though. Nice

Most good teams in the league have a strong top 6, so again I don't think Nylander is at any particular advantage over his peers here.

Has been beast mode recently.
If this is the Nylander we get in playoffs, we’re a sure bet for the conference finals

I think Nylander plays better when he gets involved physically especially in that net front area. We played him for so long out on the perimeter and I think that was a mistake by the team.

So far this season, there are 453 players in the NHL that have been on the ice for more even-strength goals against than Nylander.

He's amazing to watch when he's on which he has been for some time now. Today he was more impressive defensively. Made 6-7 great plays.
I love the play that he he took away the 2 on 1. He just played the position.
He reminds me of Pirlo, where he just seems like he is not playing hard(esp since he played with someone like Gattuso), but he is always in the right position.

Thats my issue with Willy, no one on earth knows if Willy is gonna show up. When he skates hard, he dominates.
Nylander has been beefing up for years on the sly, I would imagine, so that he can be more physical and take it.
Subsequently he ain't as pretty as before, but he is getting a lot better on the ice imo.

Not sure what the argument is here @Sweet Leaf. You’re saying if Nylander was on our top line we’d be a lousy team, though you appear to agree that we have elite top line talent on our 2nd line... which we do, in Tavares and Nylander.

Get the coaches to trust him on the ice in the 3rd period with a one goal lead against the opposing team's best players?
