Leafs winger Nylander proving doubters wrong after 'crazy' season. MORE:

And not in a good way.

A 61-point man in each of his first two full NHL campaigns, the Swede finished with just seven goals and 27 points in 54 games, good for a 41-point pace. "Coming in halfway through the year when you haven't played a hockey game in six months ... it's not easy," Matthews said."Everybody's thrilled with the way he's been competing every night. He's big part of this team."

There was, and still is in many cases, a narrative that the 23-year-old's unwilling or unable to get to the dirty areas of the ice — a so-called"perimeter player" — where most goals are scored in today's NHL.
