Toronto Maple Leafs Big Change as Nylander Moved to 3rd Line

The Toronto Maple Leafs switched things up at practice today, as William Nylander is now on the third line.

William Nylander has been incredibly consistent this season with 38 points in 38 games, but moving him to the third line could pay dividends for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Last week, I wrote about why the Leafs should play Mitch Marner on the third line, and although many people thought it was lunacy, Sheldon Keefe seems to be following suit. I know it’s Nylander instead of Marner, but the same logic can be applied as to why the team is now better off with Nylander on the third line.
