Marc DesRosiers-USA TODAY Sports
William Nylander is making his case to play alongside budding superstar Auston Matthews.
In Tuesday's match between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers, the two Toronto rookies combined to put the Leafs ahead early in the first.
Beginning in the Maple Leafs' end, Nylander flew down the right side, gaining the Edmonton zone before firing a cross-crease pass to Matthews, who buried it by netminder Cam Talbot, notching his 10th goal of the season.
