The 27-year-old has been dealing with migraines that kept him out of the first three games. This was a condition that was unknown to the public until Thursday.

Nylander’s struggle with similar issues in the past led to him using a tinted visor in 2022.

The forward has been present in morning skates over throughout the series, hinting at a timely return. Although he didn’t confirm his participation for Saturday, Nylander said he was in good condition while speaking with the media on Friday.

The Toronto market eagerly anticipated Nylander’s return as the Leafs look to tie the series at two. Keefe announced some minor adjustments to the lineup. Defenceman T.J. Brodie replaced Timothy Liljegren on the third pairing, while Nick Robertson suits up with Connor Dewar being a scratch.
