""It sucks," Nylander said Friday via Sportsnet's Luke Fox. "But, I mean, there's nothing really I can do about it. It's just gonna take some time. I don't know. Maybe I play tomorrow. Maybe I don't.""
"Max Domi was placed on the top power play group in Nylander's absence, joining Auston Matthews, John Tavares, Matthew Knies and Morgan Rielly. It's likely that Nick Robertson will reenter the lineup in Nylander's absence. Robertson could join Knies and Matthews on Toronto's top line, as the team is still looking to find their ideal combinations."
"Scott Laughton led the team's stretch, but it doesn't appear that he'll return to the lineup. Laughton was acquired by the Maple Leafs from the Flyers at the 2025 trade deadline. The 31-year-old spent his entire career with the Flyers, after making the NHL as an 18-year-old during the 2012-13 campaign. Laughton has been on injured reserve to start the year, after suffering a lower-body injury during an October 2 preseason game against the Detroit Red Wings."
William Nylander will not play Saturday against the Philadelphia Flyers and missed the morning skate. He will miss his third game of the year after a brief return for Tuesday's game against the Calgary Flames and being ruled out Wednesday versus Columbus. Nylander leads Toronto with three goals and 15 points in nine games. Max Domi joined the top power-play unit with Auston Matthews, John Tavares, Matthew Knies and Morgan Rielly. Nick Robertson is likely to reenter the lineup and could skate with Knies and Matthews. Scott Laughton remains on injured reserve after an October 2 lower-body preseason injury. Anthony Stolarz is projected to start in goal with a 3-4-1 record and a .886 save percentage.
