The Maple Leafs are getting a huge boost against the Bruins for Game 4.
Toronto Maple Leafs superstar William Nylander missed each of the club's first three games of the first round against the Boston Bruins. However, much to the delight of Leafs fans, he is officially returning to the lineup against the Bruins in Game 4.
There was plenty of talk about the potential of Nylander returning for Game 4, and now we know that it is, in fact, coming to fruition. With the Maple Leafs looking to tie the series up at 2-2, there's no question that his return is massive for them.

Nylander, 27, is coming off a career year with the Maple Leafs. In 82 games, he set new career highs with 40 goals, 58 assists, and 98 points.
The Bruins will now look to shut down Nylander and the Leafs in Game 4. It is going to be a challenging task, especially on the road, but let's see if the B's can get a major W from here.
