Maple Leafs’ Nylander in, Joshua out vs. Oilers

William Nylander will battle through illness on Saturday.

The Toronto Maple Leafs forward, listed as a game-time decision, will play against the visiting Edmonton Oilers.

Nylander snapped a four-game pointless drought with two assists against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday while skating 21:57 despite being bumped down to the third line with Dakota Joshua and Nicolas Roy. He remains the Leafs’ leading scorer with 11 goals and 34 points in 26 games.

Joshua, meanwhile, was scratched Saturday because of illness.

Joshua has five goals and four assists in 29 games.
