The Maple Leafs have still not provided us with any information about William Nylander's injury.

Thankfully, a former member of the Toronto Marlies has shared some information that he was able to find out about Nylander's injury.
Jordan Schmaltz is no longer an active player with the St. Louis Blues, but he certainly still has his contacts in the hockey world after spending parts of three NHL seasons and playing a short time with the Leafs' AHL affiliate, the Toronto Marlies.
We're all aware of the fact that Nylander has missed games 1 and 2 against the Boston Bruins due to a mysterious injury. The nature of the injury was revealed by Schmaltz's sources on Monday.
"BREAKING: Okay Folks, here's what I'm hearing per #sources regarding #88 Willy Styles Nylander. It is believed to be an upper body ailment that he's dealing with as a result of a hit taken in game 82. Not going to get into specifics or pretend to guess the full extent of the injury but obviously it kept him out of game #1 and very well could be the same for game #2.

Good news is, his chin was skating at the morning twirl in a regular sweater at The TD Bank Garden. #LeafsForever fans we'll see if he suits up tonight but as TO media reported earlier .. he was taking part of the scratches skate. Which leads me to think he isn't going tonight. Again, let's see how the afternoon progresses for the high flying Swede."

We now know that the injury is an upper-body ailment and that it came as a result of a hit that sustained by Nylander in the season finale against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Nylander is a valuable player for the Leafs. He is making strides towards returning after being back skating with the team. Hopefully, that return will happen in Game 3 tomorrow night, but there are no guarantees according to Sheldon Keefe.
