For the second match in a row, William Nylander scored two goals. In the away game against San Jose, he secured a point for Toronto by scoring 5–5 with 14 seconds left of the game and taking it to overtime. There, San Jose decided the outcome.
The goals meant that Nylander set a new season record in goals with 42, after scoring 40 goals in the regular season for the past two seasons.
But it was a subdued Nylander who met the media after the 5–6 loss.
It's both, he replied to the question of whether he mostly felt frustration over the loss or relief over the point.
I think that we could have been better, but that we at least took a point.
Nylander remains in second place in the scoring league after Edmonton's Leon Draisatl, who has scored 49 goals.
Nylander is eight goals away from Loob's 37-year-old Swedish goal record in a regular NHL season. He has ten matches to beat Loob's record.
