TSN Toronto Reporter Mark Masters reports on the Maple Leafs, who practised on Tuesday in Edmonton ahead of Wednesday’s final game of their three-game series against the Oilers.
Before the Leafs opened training camp a few guys – Joe Thornton, Auston Matthews, William Nylander, Rasmus Sandin and Mac Hollowell – returned to Canada and quarantined together in the same house. And it was there that the Willy Styles nickname was born. It comes from Jumbo when we were in a quarantine house together, Nylander revealed. He started calling me that so I put that on my sticks now.

TSN Toronto Reporter Mark Masters reports on the Maple Leafs, who practiced at the Ford Performance Centre on Friday before travelling to Edmonton to face the Oilers Saturday night in the first game of their three-game set.
Auston Matthews missed Friday s practice due to a nagging injury. He s not ruled out for tomorrow, said head coach Sheldon Keefe. We ll have to see how he continues to progress.
The 23-year-old centre has played through the pain most of the season, but aggravated the hand/wrist issue in the second period of Wednesday s game against the Calgary Flames. Matthews didn t take faceoffs down the stretch and didn t score, but still managed to produce two assists while logging more than 22 minutes.
