Toronto Maple Leafs top prospect William Nylander was injured Saturday when he was hit in the head by another player's skate during a game in Sweden.

"They don't have a full medical report yet but the early indication is that it's not too serious," said Sportnet's Damien Cox on on Saturday night's Hockey Night in Canada broadcast.

Nylander was assigned to Swedish club Modo to improve his strength in October.
