TORONTO — Mitch Marner is finally receiving all the flowers he’s richly deserved throughout his career with the Toronto Maple Leafs and on a night where he was honoured by the Scotiabank Arena crowd, he delivered in full measure once again, notching the overtime winner in a 5-4 victory over the Calgary Flames.
Marner extended his franchise-best point streak to 22 games on William Nylander’s first goal in the first period, earning a raucous standing ovation from the crowd.
Nylander was buzzing all over the ice, notching two goals and three assists in a career game for the Maple Leafs, while Auston Matthews and Michael Bunting added a goal each.
