Date News Advice
Dec. 11, 2024 Nylander was waived by the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. - Nylander signed a one-year contract with Toronto in late November but was a healthy scratch in three of the Maple Leafs' last four games.

June 30, 2024 Nylander is not expected to get a qualifying offer from Columbus on Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. - Nylander will be eligible for unrestricted free agency Monday. The decision is surprising because the 26-year-old forward was a great fit for the Blue Jackets in 2023-24.

April 11, 2024 Nylander (lower body) is expected to be a game-time decision for Thursday's game versus the Panthers. - Nylander's status against Florida won't be confirmed until Columbus takes the ice for pregame warmups, so fantasy managers hoping to insert him into daily lineups should plan accordingly. He's picked up 10 goals and 14 points through 20 games with the Blue Jackets this season. None
April 9, 2024 Nylander (lower body) won't play Tuesday against Tampa Bay, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports. - Per the team, it's a lower-body injury that will sideline the winger.

April 1, 2024 Nylander registered two goals on three shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche. - Nylander reached the 10-goalm mark on the year, with his pair of tallies including the game-winner Monday. It was a tough stretch recently for Nylander as he had not produced a point over his last five games played.

March 30, 2024 Nylander (upper body) will return to the lineup Saturday against the Penguins, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports. - After missing Columbus' last two outings, Nylander will return to action Saturday against his former team. The 26-year-old winger had gone scoreless in four games prior to the injury, though he's tallied eight goals and 11 points in 15 appearances with Columbus since being acquired from the Penguins at the trade deadline. Nylander will likely return to a top-line role in Saturday's contest. None
March 28, 2024 Nylander (upper body) will not be available to play versus Pittsburgh on Thursday, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports. - Nylander was dealt from the Penguins five weeks ago, in exchange for Emil Benstrom and has made the most of his change of scenery.

None
March 26, 2024 Nylander (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus Arizona, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports. - This is a pretty big loss for the Blue Jackets, as Nylander has played well since being traded to Columbus from Pittsburgh in late February, racking up eight goals and 11 points through 15 contests. James Malatesta is expected to draw into the lineup and make his NHL debut against the Coyotes due to Nylander's absence. None
March 16, 2024 Nylander scored a pair of goals and added an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over San Jose. - Nylander extended the Blue Jackets' lead to 2-0 in the opening minute of the second period, beating Magnus Chrona with a wrister off the rush, before adding an assist on Johnny Gaudreau's goal later in the frame.

None
March 8, 2024 Nylander scored his fifth goal of the season in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Oilers. - The 26-year-old winger gave the Blue Jackets a 2-0 lead in the first period, benefitting from an aggressive forecheck by Cole Sillinger and snapping a shot past Calvin Pickard from the slot. Nylander was viewed as a throw-in to the Emil Bemstrom trade with Pittsburgh in February, but Columbus may have uncovered a gem -- William's younger brother has erupted for five goals and seven points over the last five games. None
March 4, 2024 Nylander scored three times on four shots in Monday's 6-3 win over Vegas. - It was a night to remember for Nylander. Not only did his team get a huge win over Vegas, but he scored the first hat trick of his career. He entered the game with just one goal on the year. Nylander continues to get acclimated with his new team since being acquired from the Penguins on Feb. 22. He is now on a three-game point streak (four goals, two assists) and might be an interesting play for fantasy managers moving forward. None
March 2, 2024 Nylander notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks. - Nylander's Blue Jackets career started with little fanfare over two scoreless outings, but he's picked up three points over his last two games. The 26-year-old winger also went scoreless in five contests with the Penguins prior to his trade to Columbus in February. Nylander has seen middle-six usage and some power-play time with his new team, though fantasy managers will likely want to see a longer run of success before getting invested in the winger's performance. None

Nov. 16, 2017 Nylander is set to make his minor-league season debut after missing two months with a lower body injury. Rochester Americans coach Chris Taylor told The Associated Press the Sabres' 2016 first-round pick is scheduled to play on Friday when the American Hockey League team hosts Hartford. The forward has spent the past 10 days practicing with the Americans since being hurt during a pre-training camp prospects tournament in Buffalo in early September.
April 3, 2017 The Buffalo Sabres' top prospect has been called up from the minors and is expected to make his NHL debut against his older brother. Nylander was promoted from AHL Rochester on Monday before Buffalo's home game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, whose lineup features William Nylander. Alexander Nylander was selected with the eighth pick in last year's draft and has nine goals and 18 assists in 62 games with Rochester. The forward also had five goals and seven assists representing Sweden at the world junior championships to finish tied with a tournament-leading 12 points.

2018-04-08 analysis Nylander potted his first NHL goal Friday against Tampa Bay, but with the NHL regular season over, he'll look to help AHL Rochester in its Calder Cup quest. The 2016 first-round pick has had back-to-back, 25-point campaigns in the AHL, and he'll battle for a full-time role with the Sabres next year.
2018-04-08 update Nylander was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Sunday.
2018-04-07 analysis It came on a gorgeous deflection. The goal is great, but Nylander also finished the game a minus-3 in a night in which his club gave up seven goals. Nylander has really struggled to score in his first two AHL seasons and his stock has dropped considerably since Buffalo made him the eighth overall pick in 2016. The 2018-19 season will be a crucial campaign for Nylander in terms of his future develo

2018-04-05 analysis The Sabres noted that Nylander and Mittelstadt seemed to have some chemistry playing together during camps, and they're going to put them together for the final two games of the season to see if they can replicate their success. Nylander had a tough start to the season due to an injury but dominated at the World Juniors again and scored 13 points in his past 16 games in the AHL, which prompted the

2018-04-04 analysis Nylander has been solid but unspectacular in the minors this year, totaling seven goals and 26 points in 48 contests. The 2016 eighth-overall pick has a ton of potential, but it's a little disconcerting that he still isn't producing at a high level in the AHL at this stage in his development.

2018-04-03 update The Sabres recalled Nylander from AHL Rochester on Tuesday.
2018-03-06 analysis The Sabres will play Wednesday against Calgary and Thursday against Ottawa before the Amerks place their next game on Friday, and they're really short on centers with Jack Eichel (ankle), Evan Rodrigues (upper body) and Kyle Criscuolo (upper body) all out of the lineup, so there's a chance Nylander may get called up, even if only briefly. The talented forward should get a late-season audition and
2018-03-06 update Nylander has scored nine points in his past nine games with AHL Rochester.
2018-02-27 analysis Nylander's 15 points with AHL Rochester sits 13th on the team but only because he's missed significant time due to injury and representing Team Sweden at the World Juniors where he was a dominant player yet again. The eighth overall pick in 2016, Nylander has improved this season even though the stats don't necessarily show it. With the Sabres headed for the lottery yet again, expect Nylander to g
2018-02-27 update Nylander has been lauded by Sabres management as one of their best players in the AHL and may get called up soon if he keeps playing well, WGR 550 reports.
2018-01-11 analysis Nylander had an outstanding performance at the World Juniors for the second straight year, and now hopes to pick up where he left off. Last season, Nylander struggled following his return to the AHL. The talented winger had six points and a minus-9 rating in 15 games before being loaned to Team Sweden. The Sabres are expected to be sellers at the deadline, which may open up a roster space or two f
2018-01-11 update Nylander has been re-assigned to AHL Rochester following his stint with Team Sweden at the World Juniors.
2018-01-05 analysis Through six games, Nylander has scored a goal and six assists and will face Canada in the gold-medal game Friday. Loaned to the Swedish national team by AHL Rochester, it's no surprise Nylander has once again made headlines at the world's most prestigious international junior tournament. The key for Nylander, following the conclusion of the tournament, is to keep the momentum going; he played poor

2017-12-20 analysis Conveniently, Nylander won't have to travel far to play in the tournament, which will be held in Buffalo beginning Dec. 26. The 19-year-old winger has racked up six points (two goals, four assists) over 14 games with the team's AHL club and an additional assist in four games with the Sabres this season. The 2016 eighth-overall pick will get some international experience under his belt before likel
2017-12-20 update Nylander was assigned to Team Sweden ahead of the World Junior Championship.
2017-12-06 analysis There's no real reason for panic or anger; Nylander was left off the roster because the Sabres have yet to decide whether or not they'll release him for the annual tournament. Last year, Nylander was Sweden's top forward and one of the best players in the tournament, and despite missing the start of the season due to injury, he's considered a lock if the Sabres allow him to attend. There may some

2017-11-16 analysis The 2016 first-round pick has missed the entirety of the season to date, having been dealing with the injury since the beginning of September. While Nylander is a highly-touted prospect with NHL talent, the Sabres may elect to leave him in the minors for a majority of the campaign, just as they did a season ago when Nylander scored 10 goals and 28 points in 65 contests for Rochester.
2017-11-16 update Nylander (lower body) will take the ice for Friday's AHL contest against Hartford, John Wawrow of the Associated Press reports.
2017-11-13 analysis Head coach Phil Housley said Nylander is making progress, but made an interesting comment about Nylander not requiring surgery. Nylander was hurt before the start of the preseason, and Housley's comments suggest that it was serious enough that surgery was considered at one point. It's good news that Nylander didn't have to go under the knife, but it remains to be seen how he'll be affected by his

2017-10-30 analysis Nylander suffered an injury at the Prospects Challenge this past summer, and even though it wasn't believed to be serious, Nylander did not take part in training camp or any preseason games. The 2016 first-round pick had a promising start last year, but his play tapered off as the season went along and he finished with 28 points in 65 games. He's still considered one of Buffalo's top prospects but

2017-10-03 analysis Nylander was unable to suit up during the preseason due to his lower-body ailment, so it shouldn't come as a surprise he was not included on the Opening Night roster. The winger tallied 75 points in 57 games during his lone OHL season, but struggled to find his scoring touch at the next level, as he garnered a mere 28 points for AHL Rochester last year. If the 19-year-old can adapt to the AHL styl

2017-09-22 analysis We can only imagine how hard it would be for a bubble prospect to watch the action unfold in front of him without being able to participate. However, if there's a silver lining, it's the Sabres having four more games on schedule before the regular-season opener against the Canadiens on Oct. 5.
2017-09-22 update Nylander (lower body) hasn't hit the ice yet this preseason and remained in street clothes Friday, The Buffalo News reports.
2017-09-15 analysis The Sabres have more training camp sessions scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, but at this point, it's unclear if Nylander will be available for those key dates. It's obvious from the Sabres making him 2016's eighth overall draft choice that he's a prized skater, but missing even a single day of training camp is good for no one. He drew into four contests with the Swords last season, but a minus-2 Head coach Phil Housley said the team's being cautious with Nylander, but it's not a good start to the season for the former eighth overall pick. After an up-and-down season with AHL Rochester last year, Nylander was expected to at least challenge for a roster spot, but he's already falling behind the competition with his injury. There is no return date set for his return.
2017-09-15 update Nylander (lower body) did not skate Friday after Sabres GM Jason Botterill had expressed optimism that the prospect would be ready for training camp, John Vogl of The Buffalo News reports.

2017-09-13 analysis Nylander suffered the injury during the Prospects Challenge in Buffalo, but was mainly held out for precautionary reasons. The camp roster confirms that notion, so the Sabres' eighth overall pick from 2016 will focus his efforts on impressing during the preseason in an attempt to secure an Opening Night roster spot. He played in just four games with the Sabres last season and didn't roll through h

2017-09-09 analysis Nylander was likely dinged up at some point during Buffalo's overtime loss to New Jersey on Friday night, but even if it's barely worthy of injury status, the Sabres won't want to risk one of their top prospects' health over some exhibition games. The 2016 eighth-overall draft pick will have to impress mightily in camp to make the Opening Night roster, but it's more likely that he'll begin the sea
2017-09-09 update Nylander will be held out for the remainder of the Prospects Challenge in Buffalo due to a lower-body injury, though the team notes that it is just for precautionary reasons.
