It's been quite a week so far for William Nylander.
Fresh off signing an eight-year, $92-million extension Monday, the Toronto Maple Leafs star is on his way to punching a ticket to his first All-Star Game.
Nylander paces all skaters in fan voting for the event with 744,990 votes as of Tuesday. Eight more skaters and four more goalies will be added to the initial rosters via fan voting, which ends Jan. 11.
Cale Makar, Leon Draisaitl, Elias Pettersson, Mitch Marner, J.T. Miller, Brock Boeser, and Artemi Panarin currently occupy the remaining seven skater spots.
Among netminders, Thatcher Demko, Sergei Bobrovsky, Jeremy Swayman, and Alexandar Georgiev are in line for the All-Star Game.
All-Star Weekend takes place Feb. 1-3 in Toronto.
