EDGE Analysis
Marner appeared to be in pain after slamming into the boards in the second period of Wednesday's contest. The sensational rookie continued to play, but was seen speaking to the team's medical staff after every shift before exiting in the third period. The Maple Leafs' coaching staff may have yanked the 19-year-old forward from the game as a precautionary measure, but it's certainly a situation worth monitoring. More information regarding Marner's status for Saturday's matchup with Ottawa should be made available after he's evaluated Friday .
