William Nylander's current stint with the Toronto Maple Leafs appears to have an expiry date.
The team plans to return the 19-year-old rookie to the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League once forward Peter Holland returns from an undisclosed injury, head coach Mike Babcock said, according to TSN's Mark Masters.
The Maple Leafs' 2014 first-round draft pick has been with the team since Feb. 29 and has contributed four goals and seven points in his first 16 games in the league. He has also added 18 goals and 45 points in 37 games with the Marlies.
Meanwhile, Holland has been missing from action since March 17.
