Continues the hockey star to score at the same pace as so far, he will set a personal best in number of goals with ease. And maybe even challenge Håkan Loob's Swedish goal record of 50 goals (1987-88) in a season. The last two seasons, William Nylander has scored 40 goals in 82 matches. So far, it has been 20 goals in 32 matches.

But it was not the 28-year-old Swede who was praised the most after the away win against Dallas. Toronto's goalkeeper Joesph Woll made 36 saves.

He stood on his head and made some crucial saves at the end, says Nylander after the match.

Nylander scored the 2-2 goal in the second period and then extinguished Dallas' hopes of points in the match when he scored 5-3 into an empty net with barely two minutes left to play.

William Nylander is tied for fourth in the NHL's goal-scoring league after Leon Draisatl 23, Kirill Kaprizov 22 and Brayden Point 21. Sam Reinhart has also scored 20 goals.
