Maple Leafs star William Nylander met with the media on Monday and shared a big update with fans ahead of the team's clash with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
After missing three of the last four games due to an injury that he suffered against the Buffalo Sabres in late October, William Nylander has shared the update we've all been waiting for.
Nylander Shares Exciting News With Toronto Media
According to the player himself, as he stood in front of the cameras and microphones in Toronto, ahead of the Leafs' 4-game homestand, Nylander will officially make his return to the Leafs' lineup on Monday.
Nylander Finally Healthy? Or Just Healthy-Ish?
Nylander recently vented his frustrations with not being healthy enough to play, so one has to wonder whether he's back to 100% health, or if he's just healthy enough to play.
The Swedish superstar is currently sitting second in Maple Leafs scoring this season, despite having missed 3 games to injury. Nylander is sitting pretty with 15 points, just one back of the team lead, currently owned by
John Tavares, who is showing that age is just a number.
Nylander Back to Tavares' Wing
Nylander took line rushes on the second line at Monday's practice, indicating that he will return to Tavares' wing, effectively ending the Nylander top line experiment -- at least temporarily.
Nylander's return comes not a moment too soon, as the team needed some positive news in light of the concerning
Chris Tanev incident from this weekend, with the veteran defenseman being carted off on a stretcher.
