Toronto Maple Leafs fans are on edge after William Nylander missed practice on Tuesday due to illness, with coach Craig Berube confirming that a viral issue is spreading through the team’s locker room. The winger’s status for the upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Penguins remains uncertain, as Berube described Nylander’s recovery as “up in the air.” This comes as a significant concern given Nylander’s critical role on the team—he led the Maple Leafs in goals during last season’s playoffs and has continued his strong performance this season, contributing two goals in three games.
Fans are already drawing comparisons to last year’s struggles, when multiple key players, including Auston Matthews and T.J. Brodie, also missed time due to illness. The recurring health issues have led to frustration among supporters, with some calling it an annual “plague” affecting the team’s core players. Given the team’s recent history with illnesses, there is growing anxiety that history might repeat itself, and fans are eager for more updates following Wednesday morning’s practice.
