The Maple Leafs are "preparing" for Nylander (undisclosed) to play in Game 4 vs. the Bruins.

Nylander has missed the first three games of the series with an undisclosed ailment but is expected to play in Game 4. Nylander had the best regular season of his career, compiling 98 points (40G / 58A) in 82 games and was close to a point-per-game (10 points in 11 games) during last year's playoffs. Expect Connor Dewar to be scratched to make room for Nylander.

Nylander was very short in answering any media questions in regards to the migraines that have kept him out for the first three games of the playoffs but was a full participant in practice Friday and will be a game-time decision for Game 4 Saturday vs. Boston.

After playing all 82 games this season, Nylander did not play the first two games of the playoffs due to an undisclosed injury but is looking more and more likely to make his series debut in game three against the Boston Bruins after taking part in the morning skate. He was caught after with the extras so his status is still up in the air. Nylander had another terrific season with the Maple Leafs, scoring 98 points (40G / 58A), and will add a sizeable offensive punch to their lineup.

Nylander (undisclosed) missed Friday's practice and is a "possibility" for Game 1.

Nylander was not on the ice for Friday's practice and the Maple Leafs were non-committal about his availability for Game 1. This is likely gamesmanship more than anything, I don't think there's any real concern that Nylander won't be available for Saturday's contest.
