Nylander will be returning after both a disappointing exit as well as a difficult sickness that spread across the Swedish dressing room.

Cam Robinson of EliteProspects reported that the Swedish players were dealing with a flu bug that caused serious symptoms including dehydration.

Multiple players for Sweden missed the team's final game against the United States, and although Nylander did play; it's unclear if he was or is dealing with the same illness that ravaged the locker room.


At this time, it's not known when William Nylander will be back in the Toronto Maple Leafs lineup.

When Will William Nylander Return To Action For The Leafs?​

Ideally, the hope for the Toronto Maple Leafs would be having Nylander ready for the team's next game Saturday against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Afterwards, the Leafs start a four-game road trip that the team would want Nylander apart of to ensure he's playing in a long and pivotal stretch.

With Auston Matthews & Mitch Marner also returning from the Four Nations tournament, all three will need to be eased back in to the chemistry of Toronto's lineup.


But Nylander coming back first will mean needing him ready if Matthews & Marner are a bit rusty returning.

Nylander has 33 goals, 22 assists, & 55 points in 55 games this season for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

There is no timetable yet for the return of William Nylander to the Toronto Maple Leafs lineup.

It's unknown when he will be practicing with the team and if his absence is giving Nylander a rest from the intensity of the Four Nations, or if it is apart of a bigger issue that is being taken as precautionary, such as illness.

For now, the Toronto Maple Leads continue without Nylander, Matthews, and Marner while waiting to make sure all three are ready to go once plays resumes in the NHL on Saturday.

I'm not sure why any of the three would be considered "rusty" and having to be "eased back in to the ... lineup". It's not as though they were sitting idle on a beach somewhere while the rest of the team was playing/practising - just the opposite (sans beach).

Hope Willy is OK and that neither Mitch nor Matty get hurt tonight.
 
Just get a feeling he will have a bad stretch of games. 5-10 games. I base this on advanced couch coaching stats. The most advanced stats the world have ever seen. A advanced stat nerd came to me with tears in his eyes, and said sir there is no way you can be this good of a couch coach. I said way!

Yep, time to go to bed...
 
Nylander needs one goal to tie Bob Pulford for 10th all-time as a Leaf.

He will join Mats Sundin, Darryl Sittler, Dave Keon, and George Armstrong as the only players to be top ten in goals, assists, and points.

With the OT goal he has passed Bob Pulford for 10th all-time.

Mats Sundin, Darryl Sittler, Dave Keon, George Armstrong and William Nylander are the only Leafs who are top 10 in both goals and assists.

Matty needs about 40 assists to pass Tim Horton and Mitch needs about 50 goals to pass Wendel Clark to join them.

I used to think Nylander has such a deadly shot, how come he doesn't score more than he does? Good to see he finally got there, that OT snipe was a beauty!
Only 9 players have more goals over the last almost 4 seasons, and with the possible exception of Draisaitl they all play on the top line.

He's been playing mainly with JT, who is very much a shoot-first player, and a not great assortment of wingers.

Noticed he was getting double teamed at times in this game and vs NYR.

Smart move
He's been getting that a lot all year - comes with the goal scoring and the linemates.

William could have had at least 2 more goals, twice he passed up on shooting an empty netter and dished it to Holmberg. One of the times the pass was more difficult than if he just shot it.
