Noted Leonardo DiCaprio lookalike William Nylander has been announced as March’s NHL Rookie of the Month.
Nylander put up 14 points (4G, 10A) in 14 GP to claim the honour. He continues to be the engine of the Leafs’ deadly power play unit and now has 58 points on the season. His victory is well-deserved, and has helped the Leafs draw closer to a playoff spot.
The award is Nylander’s second of the season, having previously won in October. It’s also the Leafs’ fourth award of the season: in addition to Nylander’s two wins, Auston Matthews took the prize in December, while Mitch Marner nabbed it in January.
