While there won’t be any real update on the seriousness of Marner’s situation until Monday, it’s clear just by watching the clips last night that there’s a good chance that the ankle injury will entail some missed time. As with any injury, it adds a little bit more intrigue to the line combinations.
John Tavares hasn’t played a game with the Leafs sans Mitch Marner on his wing and, while I’m less concerned about Tavares performing at a high level without Marner, I am certainly intrigued about who the team decided to put on his wings for the time being.
