William Nylander was healthy all season long, but on the eve of game one, it appears his availability is now seriously in question.

After missing practice on Friday, William Nylander status ahead of the Maple Leafs series with the Boston Bruins is up in the air, with Sheldon Keefe giving little in the way of an update.

Toronto head coach Sheldon Keefe declared William Nylander and Bobby McMann, who did not practice today, as "possibilities" for Game 1.




With Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner and a star studded forward group flying in the regular season, confidence is high heading into this series, but without a key piece in Nylander, things change drastically. Game one of this series is on Saturday in Boston, and while the team have the talent to win without Nylander, it's safe to say that their fans and the entire organization would be much more confident with No. 88 on the ice.
