Nylander scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 6-4 win over Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
Both came on the power play. Nylander has eight points (five goals, three assists) on his current seven game scoring streak (19 shots). He has three power-play goals and one power-play assist on the streak. Nylander will need to carry the team if Auston Matthews (lower body) is out for long. AM34 left Thursday's game after a dirty knee-on-knee hit from Radko Gudas. He was unable to bear weight on his left leg.

Nylander scored a goal Tuesday in a 3-1 loss to Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Nylander is on a five-game, five-point scoring streak that includes three goals and two assists. He also has points in eight of his last nine contests (four goals, seven assists; 24 shots). Nylander continues to sit at the top of the Leafs' scoring list with 59 points (21 goals, 38 assists) in just 47 games. To put his production into perspective, Willie sits in a three-way tie for 35th in the NHL in scoring, but he's in a tie for 11th in points per game. That's Mark Scheifele/Jack Eichel/Mikko Rantanen territory. Nylander is that valuable.

Nylander scored a power-play goal in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old star earned Toronto a point when he tied the game at 2-2 with a one-timer from the faceoff dot late in the third period, and Nylander was the only Leaf to beat Dan Vladar during three rounds of the shootout. The Olympic break hasn't slowed Nylander down, and through six NHL games since the beginning of February, he's racked up three goals and eight points. Monday's tally was his 20th of the season in 44 contests, the eighth time in his career he's reached that milestone.

Nylander recorded two assists and placed four shots on net in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Nylander picked up both of his assists late in the contest, which included a primary helper on John Tavares' power-play goal. Overall, Nylander is up to 36 assists, 54 points and 90 shots on net across 41 games this season. The veteran winger has been on and off the ice this season, but has led the Maple Leafs in points per game when healthy. He remains an elite fantasy option and is on pace for his fifth consecutive season north of 75 points.
