William Nylander had a goal and two assists in his return from an injury, Joseph Woll made 29 saves for his second shutout of the season and the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Vancouver Canucks 5-0 on S

What has maybe been most impressive about the Leafs’ play in Nylander’s absence is the way they’ve continued to score. The Leafs have pumped in 21 goals in the six games that Nylander missed, led by team captain Matthews, who has scored six.

The Toronto Maple Leafs made a roster move on Friday that could set the stage for a notable lineup change in Saturday's game against the Vancouver Canucks. Forward Jacob Quillan was reassigned to the AHL’s Toronto Marlies after appearing in three NHL games this season, after making his major-league debut last campaign.

The Maple Leafs certainly have been doing exactly that, going 4-0-2 in his absence as part of their recent hot streak that has them back in the Stanley Cup Playoff race at 22-15-7 (51 points), one behind the Washington Capitals for the second wild card from the Eastern Conference.

Nylander missed six straight games with a lower-body injury, while McCabe missed two after aggravating something against the Islanders.

William Nylander's return has not only bolstered the Maple Leafs' playoff hopes but also highlighted the importance of teamwork and resilience in sports. As the team continues its pursuit of a playoff spot, Nylander's contributions will be vital in maintaining their momentum.

William Nylander left the Maple Leafs’ win over the Senators with a lower body injury, casting doubt on his availability against Detroit.

The Toronto Maple Leafs announced an injury update on William Nylander ahead of Tuesday’s home game against the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers.
