What It Means:

It was the first three-point game of Nylander's career. He has two goals and three assists in his past two games. Fellow rookie Zach Hyman also scored for Toronto Wednesday, his fourth goal of the season. Nylander had an assist on Hyman's goal and on the game's opening goal, by P.A. Parenteau at 11:29 of the first period. Parenteau has had a decent season with the Leafs, notching 18 goals. Colin Greening and Josh Leivo also scored for the Leafs, their third and fifth of the season, respectively. Defenseman Jake Gardiner contributed to the Leafs' win with a pair of assists. He now has 22 assists on the season.

It's a small sample size of just 12 games, but Nylander owns a 57.7 Corsi For Percentage and 2.6 Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength. We project him to net one more goal with no more assists over the remainder of the campaign.
