It hasn’t been an easy Calder Cup run for William Nylander. After missing the Toronto Marlies’ series opener against the Albany Devils in the second round, Nylander returned to the lineup to post just four points in nine games.
In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Marlies dropped the first three games of their series with the Hershey Bears. Nylander, for his part, had just seven points in 12 games ahead of the Marlies’ first elimination game of the year. He sat seventh on the team in points and eighth in shots on goal (24).
