The Windsor native scored a career-high ten goals and 19 points in 80 games last season playing just 10:33 a game on average. He was a fan favorite on the Island as one third of the vaunted “E=MC2” fourth line alongside Cal Clutterbuck and Casey Czikas.
He can provide safe even-strength defensive minutes (he didn’t play a role on the Isles’ penalty kill) while bringing energy and some secondary scoring. Martin’s 4.7 hits per game since the 2012-13 season lead the league ahead of second place, and now fellow Leaf, Leo Komarov’s 4.1. His 38 majors since 2012-13 stand sixth in the league.
