BOSTON -- Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander sat out Game 1 of his club's first-round playoff series against the Boston Bruins on Saturday due to an undisclosed injury.

Nylander, who has not skated with the team since Thursday, did not take the ice for warmups at TD Garden. Toronto coach Sheldon Keefe has not revealed any details about Nylander's ailment which reportedly flared up after the Maple Leafs' regular-season finale on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Nylander is coming off a career-best 98-point campaign and is a staple among Toronto's top six forwards.
