In the previous game, Nylander was caught on camera telling Marner to "stop f****** crying" during a heated exchange on the bench. The incident gained attention online.
Following the game, head coach Sheldon Keefe addressed the situation, attributing it to frustration rather than mere frustration, indicating progress in their communication.
During the team's practice session for Game 5 against the Bruins, a leaked video depicted Marner and Nylander appearing to be on good terms, suggesting they had moved past their previous disagreement.
The video, shared on Instagram, showed the players interacting positively, indicating a resolution to their feud.
For the Leafs to succeed against the Bruins, it's essential for their star players to maintain professionalism and composure. With Auston Matthews's status uncertain due to illness, Nylander and Marner will need to elevate their performance to help their team bounce back in the series.
The video serves as reassurance that the team's key players are focused on the task at hand despite recent challenges.
