Already an Olympic qualifier, Nylander was forced to leave the ice just under seven minutes into the second period due to a lower-body injury.
It is unclear whether his Olympic participation is in danger.
Before leaving the ice, Nylander had scored Toronto's go-ahead goal, 40 seconds into the first period.
One who hasn't been selected for the Olympics yet is Ottawa goalie Linus Ullmark, who probably didn't improve his stock in tonight's game. With just under a week left until Sam Hallam introduces the Olympic squad, Ullmark allowed four goals in less than a period and a half.
Despite a push in the third period, Ottawa could never quite catch up. The high-scoring affair ended 7–5 to Toronto.
