Maple Leafs' William Nylander: Three-game, four-point streak
Rotowire
Nylander picked up an assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over Ottawa.
Nylander has at least one point in each of the Leafs' three games this postseason (one goal, three assists). He also has six shots and two minor penalties. Nylander and John Tavares have been getting more O-zone starts than Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner's line this postseason, and that has been paying dividends for the Leafs. This deployment could continue through the postseason given the Marner-Matthews' defensive prowess, and that's great news for any fantasy managers who snagged Nylander in a postseason format.
Nylander scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and logged two PIM in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Senators in Game 1.
Nylander's pair of points came on the power play in the second period. The 28-year-old winger didn't log a multi-point effort over the last six games of the regular season, though his ice time was also down in that stretch as the Maple Leafs looked to build in some rest for top players even though they didn't have the cap space to scratch anyone. Nylander racked up a career-high 45 goals as well as 39 assists, and he earned 30 of his 84 points on the power play during the regular season. He'll be a strong scoring option throughout Toronto's playoff run.

He's not heading into the playoffs in the best stretch of form since he's recorded only five points (three goals, two assists) over his last eight appearances.

Maple Leafs' William Nylander: Third straight 40-goal season
Rotowire
Nylander had two goals and two assists Tuesday in a 7-2 win over the Flyers.
One goal came on the power play. Nylander has reached the 40-goal plateau for the third straight season. He's now the fourth Maple Leaf to have three consecutive 40-goal seasons. Nylander joins Auston Matthews (five; 2019-20 to 2023-24), Rick Vaive (three; 1981-82 to 1983-84) and Lanny McDonald (three; 1976-77 to 1978-79). He's nine goals behind league leader Leon Draisaitl, who is sidelined by an undisclosed injury, with 11 games left. It's unlikely Nylander can overtake Draisaitl for the Rocket Richard, but with continued heat, Nylander might hit the 90-point mark. He currently has 40 goals, 37 assists and 232 shots in 71 contests.
