The crazy Willys World show continued in Globin and Stockholm.
William Nylander became a huge hero of the game and continued his Toronto Maple Leafs record run with another great game.
Now the exciting Swedish striker has risen in points in the first 17 games of the season.
William Nylander became the ultimate hero of the game when he decided on a 4-3 overtime goal against the Minnesota Wild and the ground ball exploded.
Points in his first 17 games mean William Nylander is tied with Henrik Zetterberg and Connor McDavid in history.
There are still many players at the top, and it is at the level of the best of the best such as Wayne Gretzky, who played 51 games, and Mats Sundin, who played 30 games.
Most of that happened around William Nylander from the start of the game.
He played John Tavares twice again, but the first shot hit the underside of the crossbar and on the second chance he didn’t put the ball away properly.
He continued to play with Auston Matthews when Marc-Andre Fleury was forced to make a big save.
Just a matter of time
After 12:43 in the first period, the score finally came when William Nylander assisted Auston Matthews to make it 1-1.
After five seconds of power play, William Nylander made a pass and Auston Matthews put the rebound in front of the goal.
– It’s a special with William Nylander. Things happen when he has the puck and takes chances, says star forward Mitch Marner.
In total, 27-year-old right-handed shooting guard William Nylander has 27 points (12 goals, 15 assists) in 17 games.
On Friday night against the Detroit Red Wings, a goal and two assists resulted in the Toronto Maple Leafs turning a 0-2 deficit into a 3-2 win in the third period.
The praise for “Sudden” continued.
The most intense and eventful match between the three was earlier this week at the Globe.
Passes sat on the cards and chances replaced one another.
On Friday evening, Mats Sundin drew the starting lineup in the Toronto Maple Leafs’ locker room.
Now he had to dive outside into the ice with his three children.
William Nylander leaves Sweden with his scoring record intact.
