BREAKING NEWS: Last night, the Toronto Maple Leafs dodged a bullet. Nick Robertson made a silly play, but William Nylander was not hurt. What’s the lesson?

During the Toronto Maple Leafs’ preseason game against the Montreal Canadiens, William Nylander found himself in an unexpected collision that left him leaving the game as a precautionary measure. The incident, which took place in the first period, involved Nick Robertson trying to boost Nylander’s speed during the forecheck. What followed was a collision with Canadiens forward Christian Dvorak that saw Nylander tumble into him awkwardly, with concern over a potential injury.As expected, the incident has generated some scrutiny around the team, especially given Nylander’s significance as a core player. However, the reactions of Robertson, head coach Craig Berube, and the Maple Leafs organization might leave fans wondering whether this is “just” a learning experience or something more significant than they’re letting on.Nylander was back on the ice Friday and seemed to be none the worse for wear. He told media of the incident, “Yeah, just a little accidental or whatever incident.” He added, “But yeah, nothing more than that.”
