The forward missed six games after being injured during a 7-5 win against the Ottawa Senators on Dec. 27. Nylander, who leads Toronto with 41 points (14 goals, 27 assists) in 33 games, was on a line with Matias Maccelli and John Tavares at the morning skate. &#8220;He&#8217;s obviously a great player, skill, speed,&#8221; coach Craig Berube said. &#8220;He adds offense and he adds in a lot of areas. It&#8217;s great to have him back.&#8221; \u2026 Defenseman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/jake-mccabe-8476931\" title=\"Jake McCabe\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jake McCabe<\/a>, who has missed the past two games with a lower-body injury, was also a full participant at morning skate and is a game-time decision. \u2026 Goalie <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/anthony-stolarz-8476932\" title=\"Anthony Stolarz\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Anthony Stolarz<\/a> (upper body), who has not played since Nov. 11, was on the ice prior to the morning skate and took shots from Toronto\u2019s development staff. &#8220;He&#8217;s coming along well,&#8221; Berube said. &#8220;He&#8217;s been skating for a bit now. I think it&#8217;s close where he will be with us full-time.&#8221; Berube added he expects Stolarz to accompany the Maple Leafs on their upcoming four-game road trip that begins at the Coloardo Avalanche on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Toronto Maple Leafs William Nylander (lower body) will be back in the lineup for the Maple Leafs against&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":400878,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-400877","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400877","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=400877"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400877\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/400878"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=400877"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=400877"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=400877"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
