Since joining the Maple Leafs, the 27-year-old has been nothing short of phenomenal.
Now, he's inching closer to surpassing a major milestone held by the great Mats Sundin.
In a recent clash against Tampa Bay, Nylander was on the brink of netting another overtime goal.
He stands at nine career OT goals, which is just five shy of Sundin's franchise record.
With both players in peak form as the 2023-24 season unfolds, Sundin's record seems primed to be eclipsed soon, further cementing their places in Maple Leafs' history.
