Nylander missed practice Friday with flu-like symptoms, according to Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun.
Nylander will not play in Montreal on Friday. The talented forward had a career-year in 2022-23, scoring 40 goals and adding 47 assists while playing in all 82 games for the second time in his career. This is a contract year for the 27-year-old, so expect Nylander to have another outstanding offensive season. Consider him day-to-day at this time.
