Nylander scored a power-play goal in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flyers.

The 29-year-old star earned Toronto a point when he tied the game at 2-2 with a one-timer from the faceoff dot late in the third period, and Nylander was the only Leaf to beat Dan Vladar during three rounds of the shootout. The Olympic break hasn't slowed Nylander down, and through six NHL games since the beginning of February, he's racked up three goals and eight points. Monday's tally was his 20th of the season in 44 contests, the eighth time in his career he's reached that milestone.
