"Nylander suffered a lower-body injury during the first period of Thursday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights. Toronto's star forward registered a goal and an assist before leaving the contest. After the game, Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube revealed that Nylander aggravated an existing lower-body injury. Nylander previously missed six games due to the injury, and returned to the lineup on January 10 against the Vancouver Canucks."
"It appears likely that Dennis Hildeby will start Saturday's game against the Winnipeg Jets, especially with Woll getting some rest Friday. Hildeby has posted a 4-6-4 record with a .911 save percentage in 17 appearances this season. Anthony Stolarz continued to skate with the team, and took on greater reps with Woll absent. There is no timeline for Stolarz's return to action, and he's been out of the lineup since November 11 due to an upper-body injury."
William Nylander left Thursday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights with a lower-body injury after recording a goal and an assist and later aggravated an existing issue that previously cost him six games. The 29-year-old leads Toronto with 48 points (17 goals, 31 assists) in 37 games. Several top players, including Oliver Ekman-Larsson, John Tavares, Matthew Knies and Joseph Woll, did not participate in Friday's practice; Simon Benoit was also held out. Dennis Hildeby is likely to start Saturday versus Winnipeg, while Anthony Stolarz has no timeline for return. Coach Craig Berube criticized the team's late-game effort after surrendering a 5-3 lead.
