Mitch Marner Nets Overtime Winner For Team Canada
18 mins agoToronto Maple Leafs right wing Mitch Marner was the hero in their 4-3 overtime victory over Team Sweden on Wednesday evening. Marner was quiet through most of the game but rose to the occasion in overtime as he secured the victory on a snapshot that beat Sweden's netminder Filip Gustavsson. Sidney Crosby logged the lone assist on Marner's goal. In the game, Marner logged just two shots on goal with two blocked shots and a +0 rating. He was deployed on the top forward unit alongside Florida Sam Reinhart and Edmonton's Connor McDavid. The 27-year-old also saw time on the team's second power-play unit. Given his role in Canada's offense and playing alongside some of the top forwards in the league, he is a strong option in DFS formats on Saturday evening when Canada faces Team USA.
