'That's personal': Nylander eager to get back to business

practised on a regular line and on the top power-play unit on Friday. Afterwards, he spoke to the media for the first time since the playoffs began and was asked what has kept him out of the series against the Bruins.

Nylander played in all 82 regular season games. In fact, he's only missed one game in the last three seasons. So, this is an unusual situation for a number of reasons. Nylander produced just four assists in the final 11 games of the regular season. He hasn't scored since March 26. "He's obviously a great goalie," Nylander said."They have two great goalies. You're going to play great goalies in the playoffs, so you just got to figure out a way to get it by him."

"I don't think about him," Samsonov said."We play against Boston full team, yeah. It's not about me and him. He's doing his work, I'm doing my work.""I need to stop the puck, for sure," he admitted."Probably this my mistake. I'll prepare better. I watch some video with Curtis today and we talk about this a little bit. It's in the past right now. I need to prepare for next moment.

"I just know Auston will give us everything he has," Keefe said."I would say the same about his game the other night. To me, he played extremely hard and had a couple of chances that could've fallen his way and didn't. The one off the post comes to mind." "We will first make sure he gets back and see how he feels tomorrow," said Keefe."We will make a determination from there. It is kind of a tough couple of days, but it is exciting at the same time. From his perspective, it has been on his mind while his family has been away. They've welcomed a new addition and had it go smoothly, considering this gap in the schedule. We will have to get him back and make sure he is ready to go.

Brodie led the Leafs in shorthanded ice time in the regular season. Boston is converting on 50 per cent of its power-play chances in the series.
