Craig Berube Makes Drastic Decision After William Nylander's Hat Trick
Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander scored a hat trick against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday and Craig Berube is rewarding the team as a result.
Despite being a Swedish national, William Nylander was actually born in Calgary, Alberta as his father played for the Flames.
On Tuesday night, the Maple Leafs star got to return to his hometown where he put on a show, scoring a hat trick in an impressive 6-3 win.
William Nylander goes off for the Toronto Maple Leafs
This win gave the Maple Leafs two wins in a row as they are currently on a four-game road trip that leads them into the 4 Nations Face-Off.
The team is rolling and their offense has been on a tear over these past couple of games.
It has been great to see, and a result of Nylander's performance, head coach Craig Berube has decided to cancel Wednesday's practice.
Seldom does Berube ever cancel practices, but it is clear that he is rewarding his team amidst an incredible stretch of hockey.
After a three-game losing streak in which the team only scored a total of three goals, the Maple Leafs came through and scored 10 goals in just two games.
On Thursday, they play the Seattle Kraken and then they follow this up with a match against the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday.
These games should be very compelling and the fans are counting on the Maple Leafs to put up some massive performances.
A four-game winning streak going into the break for the 4 Nations would absolutely be huge for this team's confidence.
