Nylander snaps 13-game goal drought with sly backhand
Matt Kartozian-USA TODAY Sports
The best way to end a goal-scoring slump is by netting a beauty.
Toronto Maple Leafs rookie William Nylander did just that Friday, turning on the jets and beating Arizona Coyotes goaltender Mike Smith with a top-shelf backhand to give the Maple Leafs a 4-1 lead.
Despite the lengthy goalless skid, Nyalnder still sits fourth in rookie scoring this season with 22 points.
