William Nylander missed game one of the playoffs for Toronto in shock fashion, and now the NHL's top insider has given insight into the weird situation. Maple Leafs fans were shocked to see William Nylander miss game one against the Boston Bruins, and with little insight given from Head Coach Sheldon Keefe, the situation is very confusing. All signs point to a return in game two, but very few details have been shared, with NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman offering his insight on the situation on the latest episode of 32 Thoughts the podcast. <q> Here's why it's weird. The thing that's weird about it for me is Toronto was resting guys who were hurt. Late in the year they did not care about where they finished, they were saying we are starting guys healthy. Domi rested, Edmundson rested, even Rielly got games off, so I don't see any chance that if they would have known anything was wrong with Nylander that he would have played cause he says 'Oh I'm going for 100 points' I just don't see that. There's no way that they're letting Nylander play if they think anything is wrong with him.</q> The whole situation has been confusing, with the team getting blown off the ice by a score of 5-1 against the Bruins, but with his skate this morning, Friedman believes he's a great chance of returning in Boston for game two. <q> I have heard that he is more likely to play in Game 2 than he was in Game 1»</q> It's unclear if we will ever get clarity on the situation and exactly what happened and why it was handled the way it was, and with even Friedman in the dark, chances are we won't know anytime soon. <q> This is weird, admitted Friedman. To me this whole thing is weird and I'm just curious to see where it all plays out. I have theories, but I just don't believe at this time of year you should guess on injuries unless you absolutely 1 billion percent know what they are.</q> Source: Hockey Feed <a href='https://www.hockeyfeed.com/nhl-news/nhl-insider-shares-latest-on-weird-william-nylander-injury?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0BMQABHUmu88Asu_YEfbnNCnk1_M2onaMeYPRsHdqzvokngNbPNcAhQuK8vuYEgw_aem_ATqwwiRiGceUXuXetvKMg8wtVkWHA7M1nEV8oSxCPkWbcuy4WvNv68aSgBS8C7h4kP4' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>NHL insider shares latest on 'weird' William Nylander injury.</a>
