The Toronto Maple Leafs' lineup for Thursday's Game 6 had star William Nylander listed as a scratch and brother Alex Nylander listed in the lineup.
According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, if the game had started before the fix had been made, William Nylander could have been pulled from the lineup. It would have been another example of the bad luck that has happened to the Maple Leafs since they last won the Stanley Cup in 1967.
But in a sign that the Maple Leafs' luck might be changing, the mistake was caught, the right Nylander dressed and he carried Toronto to a clinching 4-2 win.
