In just his second game back from injury, Nylander scored his 18th goal of the season just 35 seconds into Monday night’s late game against the Calgary Flames. The early breakaway goal set the tone for Nylander’s play for the rest of the game, dialled in and relentless.
The second period was no different, where the 28-year-old assisted both Toronto goals. Nylander set up Matias Macceli for the second goal of the game, and Troy Stetcher just two minutes later. A goal and two assists, not too shabby for his second game back.
Willy Styles, who typically remains calm and unbothered on the ice, showed some frustration after just missing a goal by hitting the post late in the third.
