William Nylander is once again the NHL's rookie of the month.

The Toronto Maple Leafs forward was named March's top rookie, the league announced Saturday.

It's the second time this season he's earned the honor after winning it for his work in October.

Nylander led all members of the class with 14 points in 14 games last month, notching four goals in that span.

All of those points came during a 12-game streak that was the longest by a rookie in the club's 100-year history. It also tied for the longest point streak by anyone in the NHL in 2016-17.

The 20-year-old ranks second on the Leafs and third among rookies with 58 points. His 21 goals rank fourth both in the rookie class and on his team.
