Watch both of William Nylander’s goals in the player above.
In their season opener, Toronto won against Montreal on penalty kicks. This time they took on Minnesota, with red-hot Filip Gustavsson in goal.
But Toronto’s edge forward – not least with William Nylander’s 3-1 goal shortly before the end of the first period.
– It was beautiful. The way he skates and carves the puck in the offensive zone is very special. “He was unreal patient with the puck as he stepped around the defender and past the goalie,” said Auston Matthews.
The American Matthews was responsible for three goals himself, this match as well. With that, he tops the NHL’s shooting league with six goals in two games.
– Wow, he has been absolutely incredible. Goes straight to the box, scores all kinds of goals, Nylander says of his teammate.
