Nylander's cheeky solo goal – Ullmark helpless

Toronto's Swedish goal king William Nylander performed an elegant solo effort when he dribbled past the entire Ottawa team and finally fooled a chanceless Linus Ullmark before putting the puck in the goal.

The goal, the first of the match, came barely seven minutes into the second period, but ultimately wasn't enough for the home team, which fell 2-4 after the visitors nailed down the final score in an empty net in the third period.

Nylander's goal means he has now delivered 37 goals so far this season and solidifies his position as the NHL's second most goal-scoring player after Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl.

Another Swede who stood out during the night's round was Vancouver's Elias Pettersson, who scored both a goal and an assist when his Vancouver rolled over Chicago 6-2. Vancouver currently holds one of two wildcard spots in the Western Conference, which earns a spot in the playoffs.

Corrected version: An earlier version contained an error regarding the battle for a playoff spot for Vancouver.
