William Nylander appears to have avoided any significant injury after leaving Thursday's pre-season game against the Montreal Canadiens for precautionary reasons. The Maple Leafs forward was skating back into his own zone in the first period when linemate Nick Robertson pushed him with his stick from behind, which caused Nylander to fall and slide headfirst into Canadiens forward Christian Dvorak's leg.
Nylander, who racked up a career high 98 points last season, stayed down for a few moments after the collision before heading to the dressing room.Asked a general question about the game, Robertson was quick to address what he referred to as"the elephant in the room." Robertson, who is battling for a job up front, scored the game-winning goal and earned a positive review from Berube.
Tavares was in pain after his knee collided with the knee of Michael Pezzetta along the boards in the first period.
