"Nylander was ruled out of Saturday's game against the Buffalo Sabres with an unspecified injury. He left during the third period of Friday's game against the Sabres after getting hit by Buffalo's Jason Zucker. Nylander leads all Maple Leafs with 14 points (three goals, 11 assists) in eight games. "He needs to feel right. It's hard to him to know until game time, until warmup," Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube said Tuesday morning."
"If Nylander doesn't suit up for Tuesday's game, Sammy Blais is expected to enter the lineup. Blais was claimed off waivers on October 6, but has not played this season. The 29-year-old recorded 14 goals and 40 points in 51 games with the AHL's Abbotsford Canucks. Nylander has been primarily paired with John Tavares to start the year and has been Toronto's offensive engine throughout November."
William Nylander was ruled out of Saturday's game with an unspecified injury after leaving Friday's game following a hit from Jason Zucker. Nylander leads Toronto with 14 points (three goals, 11 assists) in eight games and has registered at least one point in seven games. Coach Craig Berube said Nylander needs to feel right and may only know at warmups whether he can play. If Nylander is unavailable, Sammy Blais is expected to enter the lineup; Blais was claimed off waivers and scored 14 goals and 40 points in 51 AHL games last season. Calle Jarnkrok is doubtful. Max Domi has one goal in nine games and is not fully healthy, Berube said.
