Maple Leafs' William Nylander: Grabs two helpers in loss to Sharks

Nylander assisted on both Leafs goals -- one on the power play -- in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to San Jose.

Analysis:

So ends a lengthy slump -- 20 games without a multi-point effort after Nylander delivered four such performances in the season's first six contests. The way he's leveled off should serve as a cautionary tale about overvaluing young players, but Nylander is still a key cog for the Leafs -- he led their forwards in ice time Tuesday -- and he should continue finding the scoresheet fairly regularly as the season wears on.
