As the Toronto Maple Leafs visit the Bell Centre tonight, Martin St-Louis and the Montreal Canadiens just received some bad news.
Indeed, after missing 12 games due to an ankle sprain, star player Mitch Marner is set to return to the lineup against the Canadiens, as reported by Mark Masters from TSN.
He participated in a full practice yesterday and was also back on the first power-play unit, indicating that he should be in the lineup tonight.
In 62 games this season, the 26-year-old forward has accumulated 25 goals and 76 points. His return will be greatly appreciated by head coach Sheldon Keefe, who utilizes him in all situations, even on the penalty kill.
This will certainly pose an additional challenge for Martin St-Louis and his team, who will have to work hard to compete with Toronto's powerful offense.
