Nylander, who is selected for the Olympics, left the ice with a suspected lower body injury. It is still unclear how serious the injury is.
Before Nylander left, he had an assist and a goal. During the goal celebration, it looked like Nylander stepped sideways, reports Aftonbladet. He immediately left the ice and later received word that he was done playing for the evening.
Just a few days ago, Nylander made a comeback after a six-game injury layoff.
Tre Kronor already had a long injury list ahead of the Olympic tournament in Milan, which starts on February 11. Among the NHL stars who are not playing right now are Leo Carlsson (Anaheim), Victor Hedman (Tampa Bay) and Erik Karlsson (Pittsburgh).
The game, which went into overtime, ended 6-5 in favor of Vegas.
