Nylander has been experiencing a bit of a slump leading into the playoffs, but his absence from practice raises concerns for Leafs fans. With just one day left before the Leafs face off against the Boston Bruins in the postseason, Nylander's whereabouts remain unknown.
In addition to Nylander, Bobby McMann was also absent from practice due to a lower-body injury.
This absence could pose significant challenges for the Leafs, especially if Nylander is unable to perform at his best in game 1. Unless there's a personal reason for his absence, Nylander's presence is crucial for the Leafs' strategy of maintaining a balanced offense.
Stay tuned for more details, as head coach Sheldon Keefe is expected to provide an explanation for Nylander's absence after practice.
