The Toronto winger picked up his first two points of the season with a goal and an assist in the Leafs’ 4-2 home-opening win over the Pittsburgh Penguins
Toronto Maple Leafs' Mitch Marner, left, and Jake McCabe, second right, check Pittsburgh Penguins' Sidney Crosby as he tries to get a shot on goal in Toronto, on Oct. 12.
The slick winger picked up his first two points of 2024-25 on Saturday with a goal and an assist in Toronto’s 4-2 home-opening victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Whether or not Marner would continue wearing those blue and white threads was a hot topic this summer after the Leafs were bounced in the opening round of the playoffs for the seventh time in eight seasons.
Marner, who’s in the final year of a big-money contract and has been eligible to sign an extension since July 1, may very well have followed his former bench boss out of town if not for a full no-movement clause attached to his current deal.“He has pressure on him all the time … I think all of us do,” said Knies, who picked up his first goal of the season Saturday. “It’s just the kind of market that we’re in, but he’s been a professional about it. He’s been very mature about it.
