Mitch Marner Praised by Former Teammates Ahead of Maple Leafs Matchup

Former Toronto Maple Leafs winger Mitch Marner received high praise from ex-teammates Auston Matthews and John Tavares ahead of his first game against Toronto as a Vegas Golden Knight. Marner led the NHL in playoff scoring last season with 29 points in 22 postseason contests during Vegas' run to the Stanley Cup Final. Matthews and Tavares noted they remain close friends with Marner and highlighted his unique ability to impact the game with and without the puck.
