Marner skates, but won’t return Thursday (TSN.ca)
Marner joined Alexey Marchenko, Martin Marincin, Ben Smith and Curtis McElhinney in a light shootaround Wednesday morning at MasterCard Centre as he works his way back from an apparent shoulder injury suffered Feb. 15. The rookie went through a number of drills over the 45-minute workout, and was firing shots on net without looking encumbered. He’s missed Toronto’s last three games, with the team posting a 2-1-0 record without him. Despite appearing to make some progress, head coach Mike Babcock confirmed he will not suit up Thursday against the New York Rangers.
