William Nylander reached a big milestone in front of the home crowd. The Swedish winger scored twice to give him 300 NHL goals and the Toronto Maple Leafs routed the Edmonton Oilers 7-2 on Saturday night.
Both of Nylander's goals came in the third period. He beat Tristan Jarry with a slap shot early in the period and added a wrist shot with just over two minutes left.
