Marner is expected to be sidelined 3-4 weeks due to a shoulder injury for which he underwent an MRI, Kristen Shilton of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Based on his timeline, Marner is likely out until January, which will see him unavailable for at least the next 10 contests. Prior to getting hurt, the Ontario native was rolling with two goals and four assists in his last five outings. In Marner's stead, Wayne Simmonds will get the first crack at a top-line role with Auston Matthews while Ondrej Kase links up with the No. 1 power-play unit.
