William Nylander has been the missing piece in the Leafs lineup this series, and now all signs are pointing towards his potential return for game 4.

William Nylander has missed the entirety of the Leafs versus Bruins series thus far with a mysterious migraine issue, something that he has had issues with in the past. Despite taking part in practice earlier this week, Nylander missed game 3.

Now, however, all signs at practice today are pointing to Nylander's return. He is participating in full practice with his anticipated third line and is even taking reps on the top powerplay unit. The Leafs could certainly use his help, especially on the extra man, as they have struggled to produce on the powerplay.
