Sheldon Keefe on his continued faith in Auston Matthews & Mitch Marner amid a slow start at five-on-five: “Lots of trust… They’re going to continue to get better as the season moves along”

Auston Matthews has talked about his line being too “one and done.” Mitch Marner said he would like to shoot more. Is there anything, in particular, you are looking for from those two as they look to jumpstart the offense at five-on-five?

Keefe: More speed, more execution with their playmaking and overall pace. Maybe the playmaking is part of the speed and the pace that would be generated off of that. With that comes more sustained offense and more time in the offensive zone. You put your team or the opposition on their heels more.
