Jon Cooper on Mitch Marner’s line vs. Team Finland: “Cirelli and Hagel are the worker bees, and Mitch organizes things in the offensive zone… The line was great”

You put Mitch Marner with Brandon Hagel and Anthony Cirelli against Finland. In a tournament setting like this, as you think ahead to the Olympics, how important is it to have players who are malleable and you can put into a top line role or a checking line role? How do you think the line did?

Cooper: I don’t want to talk about the Olympics. This is where we are at.

When you come to these tournaments, and you have no exhibition or pre-games, you are thrown into the fire. You have to see what works.
