Playing career[]
Williams was drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs 220th overall in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.
Williams scored a goal in each of his first three games in the NHL, with each game coming in a different season — he is likely the only player to achieve the odd feat.[1] His NHL debut came on April 18, 2006 versus the Pittsburgh Penguins, which was the Leafs' last game of the season. He scored his first NHL goal on his first NHL shot in a 5-3 victory.[2] The Leafs failed to qualify for the playoffs, and he was sent down to the Marlies.
He was recalled to the Leafs on February 23, 2007 and played against the Montreal Canadiens. During this game, Mats Sundin shot the puck at Montreal goaltender David Aebischer and the rebound came straight to Williams, who scored his second NHL goal in a 5-4 loss.[2] Williams was called up on February 27, 2008 and scored that night against the Florida Panthers.[1] Since then, he has scored once more.
On December 8, 2008, Williams scored on a pass from Jason Blake and also recorded his first NHL assist in his career against the New York Islanders in a 4 - 2 win on his first game of the season with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
In all 4 seasons in which Williams has been recalled from the minors, he has scored in his first NHL game of the season.
On February 9, 2009, he was placed on waivers and was sent back to the Toronto Marlies of the AHL after clearing waivers.
On July 7, 2009 Williams being an unrestricted free agent, signed with the Detroit Red Wings along with Toronto Marlies teammate Kris Newbury
On July 12, 2010 Williams again being an unrestricted free agent, signed with the New York Rangers.
On June 15, 2011, Williams signed a one-year contract with European team, EC Red Bull Salzburg of Austria.[3]
