The Toronto Maple Leafs give a challenge to a returning Mitch Marner by putting him in a new role in his first game back. The Leafs have officially announced that Mitch Marner will return to the team's lineup tonight against the Seattle Kraken after missing Toronto's previous game against the Calgary Flames due to stiffness.

Holmberg – Robertson Pacioretty – Kampf – Lorentz Reaves Marner, who leads the Leafs with 70 points this season, won’t be rejoining Auston Matthews on the team’s top line, not right away anyway. He’ll skate instead on a line with William Nylander and John Tavares,
