Toronto Maple Leafs winger William Nylander will sit out the team’s game vs. the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday, according to Sportsnet‘s Luke Fox.

Nylander also missed Friday’s 5-4 overtime win over the Anaheim Ducks due to illness.

The 23-year-old has 25 goals and 49 points across 54 games in a bounce-back campaign for the Leafs.

Jack Campbell, who gave up four goals in his debut for the Leafs vs. the Ducks, gets the nod in net.
