Mitch Marner’s Unexpected Journey After Maple Leafs: What’s Really Behind the Silence?
Tyler Bertuzzi scored soon after Pavel Dorofeyev replaced Stone.
And while Vegas owns a top-five power play, Marner, typically the top unit’s quarterback, has factored into the scoring at the lowest rate of his career — nabbing a point on only 39 percent of the goals. (Last season in Toronto, that number was 73 percent.)
Bunch it all together — new teammates, new system, changes in deployment, Vegas’ occasional scoring struggles amid a challenging season that’s only started to get better recently — and it makes sense that Marner is having his worst offensive season since he was a 20-year-old sophomore with the Leafs.
