Watch: Nylander snipes with pinpoint wrister

Twitter/@NHL

William Nylander doesn't need much time or space to score goals like this.

The Toronto Maple Leafs forward flicked a perfect wrist shot past Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Michal Neuvirth from the faceoff circle on the power play Thursday night.

It was the 20-year-old's 18th goal of the season and his first in seven games.

Half of Nylander's goals this season have come with the man advantage, and this one put him into a tie for the Leafs' rookie record for power-play goals in a single campaign.
