The Toronto Maple Leafs are trying to navigate their first season without Mitch Marner on the roster. So far, the results have been mixed, as the Leafs are 5-4-1 on the year through the first 10 games of the season. It's good enough for them to hold third place in the Atlantic Division now, but they are either tied or one point ahead of the rest of their rivals behind them.
When looking at the Leafs, their offense has been a cause of concern early this season. The team was aware of this, which is why head coach Craig Berube decided to put Auston Matthews and William Nylander on the same line.
