William Nylander holds press conference as head injury looms
William Nylander appears to be headed towards a return for game four against the Boston Bruins. He has now addressed the Toronto Maple Leafs media.
Suffering a head injury which caused chronic migraines in game #82 of the NHL regular season, William Nylander has been absent for the entire series against the Boston Bruins.
Today, he addressed the media for the first time, with very vague comments, but that point towards an imminent return to play.
When asked by a media member whether he'd be ready to play for game four against the Boston Bruins, he shut them down:
When asked what his biggest challenge would be when he returned to play, he responded with an attitude:
William Nylander, speaking to the media today following practice, asked what will be the biggest challenge for him if he's back in tomorrow?
"Nothing"
Why is that?
"Because I've been skating and everything."
Looks like a man ready to play a hockey game.
Considering William Nylander is practicing on PP1, it certainly seems like he is ready to return. We will see if he makes an immediate impact that can turn around the series against the Bruins.
