Alex and William Nylander's first NHL game
On Nov. 24, 2024, brothers William and Alex Nylander made NHL history by playing in their first game together as members of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The matchup against the Utah Hockey Club at Scotiabank Arena marked the first time the Nylander brothers suited together.
Alex had just been called up from the AHL's Toronto Marlies after Matthew Knies was placed on injured reserve. Both Nylanders commented after the game.
"I mean, just the entire day was special and seeing him out there," William Nylander said via Sportsnet. "The first period was kind of just like crazy. It felt pretty crazy and then settled in and it felt more normal. So, yeah, it was very special. And, of course, we got the win, which was nice."
"An amazing feeling," Alex said. "A really special feeling to be here on this team with my brother here. It's something I'll remember forever."
Though the brothers have played with and against each other growing up, this first NHL game together was an unforgettable occasion they will always cherish.
