Nylander Fined $5,000 for Obscene Gesture; Targets Return from Groin Injury

Maple Leafs star William Nylander was fined $5,000 by the NHL for an obscene gesture directed at a broadcast camera during Sunday's game, for which he apologized, citing frustration from his groin injury. Sidelined since mid-January, Nylander expressed optimism about returning during the upcoming four-game road trip, which begins Thursday. His potential return would be a timely boost for Toronto, who have lost four of the five games he's missed.
