The nature of the Torontonian captain’s injury is unknown.
The Leafs won for the sixth time in seven games and Campbell received his sixth career shutout.
Carter Hart finished the night with 30 saves for the Flyers.
Nylander opened the scoring at 8:49 of the second period with a lucky goal. The puck deflected over his right toe and went under Hart’s arm, after a pass from Jake Muzzin struck Travis Sanheim’s stick and flew high into the air near the goalie rectangle.
Originally, the goal was disallowed as officials ruled the puck had been kicked into the net, but the video replay reversed the decision.
Nylander made it 2-0 at 5:49 of the third period. Kase completed the score with 6:27 to go.
