Maple Leafs' Mitchell Marner: Two points including game-winner
Rotowire
Marner had a goal and a power-play assist in Wednesday's 2-1 Game 4 win over the Panthers.
Marner helped William Nylander open the scoring in the second period, then he lit the lamp himself to double that lead halfway through the third with what turned out to be the game-winner. While Marner's up to 14 points in 10 games this postseason, only three of those have come in the four games against Florida, and his pedestrian production is one of the leading reasons that Toronto trails the series 3-1 heading into Game 5 at home Friday.

Maple Leafs' Mitchell Marner: Squeezing stick as games tighten
Rotowire
Marner got a power-play assist Thursday in a 3-2 loss to the Panthers in Game 2.
The game started well for the Leafs, who looked dominating early in the first. The top power-play unit moved the puck quickly and effectively, and Marner fed Ryan O'Reilly a cross-ice pass that he slammed home. But the game tilted the Panthers way from that point forward. And despite six shots -- the same number he'd fired over the previous three games -- Marner couldn't solve a suddenly-hot Sergei Bobrovsky. He just couldn't make something happen. The Panthers lead the series 2-0 heading home for Game 3. Marner and his teammates need to add some urgency to their game or this could be a short series.

Rotowire
Marner picked up an assist Thursday in a 4-2 loss to the Lightning in Game 5.
Marner stretched his point streak to five games and 11 points (two goals, nine assists), but he struggled on the night. He was stymied on a breakaway and seemed to struggle under heavy checking. Still, Marner is tied with Roope Hintz for the NHL scoring lead. He should be better Saturday when the Leafs meet the Bolts in Game 6 in Tampa Bay.

Rotowire
Marner had two assists in a 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning on Saturday in Game 3.
Marner leads the NHL with eight points (two goals, six assists) in three games this postseason. That's two better than Leon Draisaitl of the Oilers and Adam Fox of the Rangers, who both have six.

Maple Leafs' Mitchell Marner: Bright spot in Game 1 loss
Rotowire
Marner dished out three assists -- two on the power play -- in Tuesday's 7-3 Game 1 loss to the Lightning
Marner had a hand in all three of Toronto's goals. Back-to-back power-play markers in the second period allowed the Maple Leafs to pull back within one, but Tampa Bay then scored four unanswered goals before Marner got his third point. At least this performance should give Marner -- who has only seven goals in 39 career playoff games -- some confidence heading into Game 2 on Thursday.
