William Nylander injury update: does he have a concussion?

It's been five days since William Nylander was taken out of the World Juniors after taking a blindside hit in Sweden's first game. Team Sweden has remained cautiously optimistic that Nylander will return at some point in the tournament. He was on the bike yesterday, but still hasn't skated since the hit.

He was scheduled to speak at a press conference today but the team cancelled it at the last minute. In an interview with TSN (autoplay), Sweden's team doctor, Adolf Bergsten, said that they wanted to keep him away from the bright interview lights and keep him from thinking too hard (actually).
