With all signs pointing to the return of William Nylander for Saturday night’s Game 4 against the Boston Bruins, the big question is: Who comes out of the lineup?

Nylander looks ready for series debut

Leaf William Nylander said Friday he is "feeling great" after missing the first three games vs. Boston.

The healthy scratch candidates appear to be Nick Robertson, Connor Dewar and Ryan Reaves.

“The guys have done a good job,” Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe said on the eve of Game 4 at Scotiabank Arena, with Toronto trailing two games to one. “The guys that we would consider in that conversation to come out offer different things to the lineup.

“The first situation is to figure out where Willy’s at and his availability, and then make a determination from there. But there’s been different conversations trying to sort through what we think is best, which is a sign that the players, to me, have done a good job in making things difficult.”

The fact that Nylander addressed the media after practice Friday suggests the worst of whatever ails him is over. Injured players are typically off-limits for interviews and Nylander hasn’t been available for comment since the playoffs began.

Rogers' Power Play- Company will have near-lock on city's pro sports with buyout of Bell's stake in MLSE

Weakened Liberal Party Saved by BQ - Who would have thought Canada might be saved from an election by the only political party that seeks to break up the country?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a chance to keep his Liberals in power thanks to Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet. On Tuesday, without engaging any of the parties in substantive negotiations, the Liberals decided to lay the future of the government on the tracks of the oncoming Conservative train. They tempted the fate not just of their own political lifespan, but also that of all the policies they say they want to accomplish: a more compassionate and responsive immigration system; action to curb greenhouse gasses; a school food program; a pharmacare program that provides free contraception and diabetes medication; better (though inadequate) disability payments; and the entrenchment of a dental care program that has seen a huge uptick of subscribers.

At Least We'll All Know Who to Blame - Edward Rogers has become Toronto sports fans' one-stop target for owner-bashing

Sports needs characters we can root for, and characters we can blame, writes Edward Keenan. Rogers buying Bell's MLSE stake will supply more of the latter, starting with chairman Edward Rogers.For a sports fan, there’s something satisfying about that. For years with the Leafs in particular, the owner was a pension plan, and it was hard to tell if its controlling executives (never mind the teachers whose money they were spending) cared about hockey one way or the other. And whether they did or not, how could you figure out who was responsible for what they did as a result?
