Nylander's Two-Assist Effort Sparks Third Line Debate for Maple Leafs

William Nylander recorded two assists in the Maple Leafs' 3-2 OT loss to the Sharks, with coach Craig Berube calling it his "best game in a while." Playing on the third line, his unit had an 85% expected goals share. Nylander leads the Leafs with 34 points. With Bobby McMann returning, Toronto faces a decision on whether to keep Nylander on the third line or move him back up, a question to be resolved before Saturday's game against the Edmonton Oilers. Berube noted late-game blunders, including Nylander's inability to clear the puck.
