Tavares Hits Ice with Flu, Nylander Back Post-Olympics

John Tavares, the steady assistant captain who's notched 20 goals and 27 assists in 57 games, sits out Tuesday's practice battling the flu right before the Lightning clash. William Nylander shakes off Olympic rust, hitting the ice for the first time since his two-goal, two-assist showing for Sweden in the quarters. With Toronto clinging to seventh in the Atlantic at 27-21-9 and 25 games left, every body counts in this post-break sprint.
