This is another work of art from William Nylander.

The Toronto Maple Leafs forward scored a terrific goal at the World Championship on Tuesday, taking a perfect pass from Nicklas Backstrom and roofing a shot from in tight to open the scoring for Sweden against Slovakia.

Nylander and Backstrom have shown plenty of chemistry in their brief time together at the tournament, combining on a sweet give-and-go goal in Sweden's victory over Denmark on Sunday.
