The Point King Nylander: "Taggad"

Toronto's superstar William Nylander delivered another goal and contributed to the 3-2 win against Nashville. If given the chance to beat his teammates in the star-studded Four Nations, he says: I'm psyched.

After two goalless first periods, where Nashville had only scored one goal, the home team Toronto started explosively in the third period. Within two minutes, Auston Matthews scored two goals, before William Nylander shortly after scored a third in a numerical superiority.

We stepped it up a bit in the third period and got some pucks in the net, says Nylander to reporters after the match.

The 28-year-old Swede has now scored 27 points in 25 matches, 16 goals and 11 assists.

Nashville's Mark Jankowski managed to reduce in the end of the third period, but it was still a win for Toronto.

Both Auston Matthews and William Nylander have been selected to their respective national teams to play in the star-studded Four Nations tournament in February.

Nylander says it will be "very fun" to play against teammates, instead of with them.

I'm psyched, he says.

William Nylander has not yet had time to take part in the rest of Sweden's lineup, but is still full of confidence.

We'll definitely have a very good team regardless, he says and laughs.

The tournament with NHL national teams will take place on February 13-21 in Montreal and Boston, Sweden starts against Canada.
