They don’t call him Willy Styles for nothing.
Toronto Maple Leafs winger William Nylander ran away with the vote for the league’s most fashionable in the NHLPA Players’ Poll released Friday.
Nylander received 32.9 per cent of the votes, well ahead of Boston Bruins forward David Pastrnak, who was second with 9.7 per cent, and teammate Auston Matthews, who was third with 7.1 per cent of the vote.
The 29-year-old Swede was also the winner in the category of the player that does the best job with their social media presence, taking 17.4 per cent of the vote. Seattle Kraken netminder Joey Daccord was second in that category with 8 per cent of the vote, followed Toronto’s Matthews and Max Domi, who both picked up 6 per cent of all votes.
Styles is the name, fashion is the game within the game.

Nylander posted 30 goals and 79 points in 65 games this season after reaching the 40-goal mark in each of the previous three seasons.
He and the Maple Leafs missed the playoffs this year for the first time since 2016, seeing the NHL’s active record of nine straight postseason appearances come to an end.
