William Nylander's sister Ella drops 1-word reaction to 'quick math' stats after Leafs star's second goal in 5-0 win against Blue Jackets

Toronto Maple Leafs and William Nylander secured a 5-0 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night at Scotiabank Arena. Nylander scored twice to take his season goal tally to 44 on the evening.

The Leafs' official Instagram handle posted a fun stat right after Nylander’s second goal on the night, pointing out that it was Morgan Rielly (wearing 44) who assisted on Nylander’s (wearing 88) goal.

William and Alex Nylander’s sister, Ella, shared the post on her Instagram story.

“88,” she captioned the story.

The post mentioned that Nylander has 44 goals this season and made a playful point that if one multiplies 44 by 2, it would be 88—which matches Nylander's number (88), as ‘simple math.’

“44 assisted 88 for his 44th goal of the season, which was also his 2nd of the night and if you times 44 by 2 it's 88 (quick math). Is that cool? Idk it's game 76. Willy scored. Mo got the apple. GLG,” read the caption of the original post.

William Nylander scored twice in quick succession in the third period of the game. His first came early in the third and he followed up with another goal during 4-on-4 play after a scramble in front of the Columbus net.
