Mitchell Marner Is A Game-Time Decision For Season Opener
3 years agoToronto Maple Leafs right wing Mitchell Marner (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's season opener against Montreal after he collided with Wayne Simmonds in Tuesday's practice and left the session early. The signs look pretty positive that he'll play, but we won't know for sure before the warm-ups start. Toronto is already without Auston Matthews (wrist) for the start of the year and Marner's absence would lead to further top-six shuffling. Marner will join John Tavares and Nick Ritchie on the top line if he's good to go, while William Nylander and Michael Bunting are set to line up on the second line with Alexander Kerfoot.
