Overview
- Nylander confirmed after the morning skate that he is healthy to play, saying, “I’m good, good to go,” and credited rest for aiding his recovery.
- He missed three of the past four games with a lower-body issue sustained after an Oct. 24 cross-check in the game against the Sabres.
- TSN and multiple outlets reported he took part in the morning session and is cleared to dress for Monday night’s matchup in Toronto.
- During line rushes he worked with John Tavares and rookie Easton Cowan, though coach Craig Berube said final lineup choices would be made at puck drop.
- Toronto has 13 points through 12 games, and with fill-in Sammy Blais producing a goal and an assist recently, the decision on who sits for Nylander remained unresolved.
