Sheldon Keefe confirms William Nylander's status for Game 4
Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe has officially confirmed William Nylander's status for tonight's pivotal Game 4 against the Boston Bruins.
After missing the first three games of the series versus the Bruins, William Nylander is expected to play tonight, according to Keefe.
Nylander had been dealing with severe migraine issues, but has been skating with the team throughout the week. His addition to the lineup will provide a much needed offensive boost for a Leafs team that has scored two goals or less in eight of their last nine playoff games.
While Nylander returns tonight, Bobby McMann will remain sidelined. Keefe, however, did mention that Mcmann is expected to return to the ice soon as he recovers from a reported knee injury that has caused him to miss the last five games for the Leafs.
Nylander being re-inserted into the lineup couldn't come at a better time for the Leafs, who are down 2 games to 1 in the series.
There's no denying Nylander's God given talent. He could he a game-changer for the Leafs in this series after scoring 98 points this season.
