Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander has had a rough start to the NHL season, and things are not getting much better following a new report.
William Nylander is one of the best players on the Toronto Maple Leafs, and he is very much needed for this team to be successful.
On the second line with John Tavares, he has managed to do some serious damage to opposing teams. Despite a slow start, he certainly showcased his talents on Tuesday against the Nashville Predators.
Tonight, the Leafs are back in action against the New York Rangers, although Nylander's status for this game is now in jeopardy.
We say that because the Leafs' superstar was not on the ice for morning skate. This has sent shockwaves throughout Toronto, and there is a concern that he may be injured.
With William Nylander out of the lineup, at least for morning skate, the Leafs have had to change some things around.
Toronto Maple Leafs tinker with their lineup
For instance, Steven Lorentz could be back for tonight's game. He was placed on the second line during practice today, which is a good sign.
Meanwhile, the rest of the lines look the same, at least for right now.
Knies - Matthews - Cowan
Maccelli - Tavares - Lorentz*
McMann - Domi - Robertson
Joshua - Roy - Jarnkrok
Blais
Rielly - Carlo
McCabe - Tanev
Benoit - Ekman-Larsson
Myers
Stolarz starts
Primeau
Maccelli - Tavares - Lorentz*
McMann - Domi - Robertson
Joshua - Roy - Jarnkrok

It's hard to say whether or not this is just an excused absence, or the makings of something a lot bigger that fans should be worried about.
We should have more information on that soon, so be on the lookout for updates.
