The Edmonton Oilers came to Toronto tonight. Auston Matthews was injured, and William Nylander appeared as a top nine centre for the first time—AFAIK—since his first, partial year in the NHL.
The game was preceded by a ceremony celebrating Toronto FC’s recent MLS championship.
The new William Nylander line struck immediately. Connor Brown forced a turnover and chipped it to Zach Hyman; Hyman gave it to William Nylander; Nylander advanced the puck into the corner, then threw it back to Jake Gardiner at the point; Hyman tipped it and it trickled through Laurent Brossoit. 1-0 Leafs.
