As crazy as this sounds, when forward Mitch Marner returns to the line-up, the Toronto Maple Leafs should start him on the third line.
This hasn’t been the best season for Toronto Maple Leafs star, Mitch Marner. Whether it’s been injuries or Covid, Marner is pacing at his lowest points per game total since his rookie season. In an 82-game campaign, he’s on pace for 19 goals and 66 points, which isn’t what we expect from him.
Instead, we’re used to the point-per-game player we’ve seen for the past three years and the guy who doesn’t score in the playoffs (sorry for the low blow).
