NHL insider reveals full details regarding William Nylander's injury
NHL insider Elliotte Friedman has shed light on the injury that sidelined William Nylander for the first three games of the playoffs. After the regular season wrapped up for the Leafs, the team announced that Nylander was injured, sparking widespread speculation.
Friedman, speaking on Sportsnet, revealed that Nylander was suffering from a severe migraine, prompting medical staff to assess him for a possible concussion. He further noted that Nylander had switched to a tinted visor in 2022 to cope with "eye migraines" that had troubled him during games the previous season.
«Admittedly, I'm not always comfortable discussing injuries at this time of year. The William Nylander situation is unique, even by Toronto standards:»
The American Migraine Foundation suggests that while migraines typically resolve within a day or two, the array of accompanying symptoms can extend recovery beyond a week. Given this, Nylander's potential return could be as early as game four against the Boston Bruins on Saturday.
