Maple Leafs' Mitch Marner: Collects three assists Saturday
Mitchell Marner put up three assists Saturday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.Marner leads the Toronto Maple Leafs with 10 points, including nine assists, in nine games.

Maybe it's simply an adjustment to his new coach, Craig Berube, but Marner should figure it out eventually.

Mitchell Marner registered two assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 5-2 win over the Lightning.Marner has three multi-point outings across Toronto's last four games, and even though he's netted only one goal in that span, he's making his presence felt as a playmaker.

Mitchell Marner delivered three assists, including two on the power play, in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Kings.Marner was unable to score for a second game in a row, but he still found a way to contribute and dazzled as a playmaker with a season-high three assists.

Maple Leafs' Mitch Marner: First two points of season
Mitchell Marner scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.Marner got on the scoresheet for the first time in three games this season. He's added nine shots on net and a plus-1 rating while playing in his usual top-six role. Marner is in a contract year, so his slow start is not a welcome sight for fantasy managers that expected him to find another level -- perhaps one that would lead to his first 100-point season. It shouldn't take him long to be the steady playmaker he usually is, especially when he's playing on a line with Auston Matthews.

Maple Leafs' Mitch Marner: Focused on season, not new contract
Mitchell Marner, who is in the last year of his current deal, declined to discuss contract at Wednesday's season-opening media availability, reports Sportsnet.ca."I'm not here to talk about that. I'm here to talk about the season and getting going," said Marner. Despite putting up gaudy numbers in eight seasons in Toronto (639 points in 576 games, including 85 in 69 in 2023-24), he and Leafs have not seen playoff success, and Marner has borne the brunt of fan ire as a result. At times in the past, the pressure seemed to get to the hometown kid, but Marner enters camp focused and poised for a massive contract season after prepping for the season by working out with Hart-trophy winners Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon. MacKinnon has been quick to share that Marner "stuck out as one of the best" during the workouts. His first century season could be on the horizon.
