In the first game of a Saturday-Sunday back-to-back, Mitch Marner and Andreas Johnsson both led the way with three points as the Toronto Maple Leafs took down the New York Rangers in a competitive 5-3 tilt.
The win pushes the Maple Leafs to the 50 point plateau with a 24-10-2 record, three points ahead of the Buffalo Sabres, but still eight points back of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
With another puck drop literally in a few hours, the Maple Leafs won’t have too much time to relish in positives and scold the negatives, but that may not be the case for Marner, who continues to have a career year.
