New point against Vancouver
toronto. It’s William Nylander in record-breaking form who returns to Sweden this week.
He scored another goal in Toronto’s 5-2 win over Vancouver last night and has now produced points in fifteen straight games.
Willie may be the best attacking player in the entire league right now, says compatriot Calle Jarnkrok.
Surely it’s not just because, to the amazement of his hometown residents, he rides the subway to games that William Nylander is excited about.
He’s also playing the favorite game of his life, leading the Maple Leafs game after game and racking up points.
The club record for longest early-season hitting streak was extended to fifteen games with another shutout in tonight’s home game against Vancouver.
“He might be the best in the league right now.”
In a sequence early on, he passed the ball across the penalty area and brazenly scored the 10th goal of the season past a Vancouver defender.
Willie may be the best attacking player in the entire league right now, says fellow Swede Calle Jarnkrok.
– He has incredible leadership in the game and is dangerous all the time.
There will be something for audiences to enjoy at The Globe next week.
“Our best match”
Yes, foliage generally comes to Sweden in good condition. After a somewhat chaotic start to the month, with tonight’s victory over a red-hot Canucks team, they picked up their second straight win in one day – and finally held on for a solid team effort.
– Yes, this was probably our best game as a team all season, says coach Sheldon Keefe.
– It’s very good that we were able to win these matches before the trip to Sweden, but although it may not seem like it, I see that we have been moving in the right direction for a long time.
Vancouver, which was absolutely sensational during the opening month of the regular season, responded in the same breath with its weakest performance since the start of the season, but Elias Pettersson was still able to extend the lead in league points with another assist.
Footnote: The Maple Leafs land in Stockholm on Tuesday morning and hold their first practice on Swedish soil, in Hovit, the same afternoon.
