William Nylander, Maple Leafs Cruise Past Slumping Canucks

On Jan. 10, 2026, William Nylander returned from injury and had a goal and two assists as Joseph Woll made 29 saves for a 5-0 Maple Leafs win over Vancouver.
The Leafs emphasised patience and capitalized on mistakes, with Matias Maccelli opening the scoring on the Maple Leafs' second shot after a Nylander–Matthews give-and-go.
John Tavares converted a Nylander feed at 13:07 of the second, Max Domi scored with 3:29 left after Troy Stecher sprung him, and Nick Robertson added a power-play goal with 13.4 seconds remaining.
The victory pushed Toronto Maple Leafs to 22-15-7 and marked their third straight win and seventh consecutive home victory, while Vancouver Canucks fell to 16-23-5 with Thatcher Demko pulled and Kevin Lankinen stopping 16 shots in relief.
Despite a 29-24 shot edge, Vancouver outshot Toronto but couldn't solve the Leafs' defence, and faceoffs were 69.6 to 30.4%.
