Preseason is two fewer games this year than in the past, and I'm still bored after only three. But the Leafs play the Habs – more likely the real thing – in Montréal on Saturday, and then there's a bit of a break before the final two games. 

Lots of time for more injuries! Last night, William Nylander left the game after conking his head on a player's leg as he fell. 

> Tavares says the report the players got on Nylander was positive, but agreed it was smart to take him out for precaution. Berube to comment soon.

> Tavares: "My leg was getting pretty stiff from the hit I took in the 1st. It wasn’t so bad afterwards, but throughout the 2nd & especially the 3rd, it just got really, really stiff ... I told Craig I would just keep them \[shifts\] short, but he \[gave\] me the rest of the night off" [https://t.co/QyDYfP6Yg2](https://t.co/QyDYfP6Yg2?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

A hit along the boards landed mostly on Tavares's leg earlier in the game.
