Marner garnered a pair of helpers in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Marner has notched three assists in his last two games but is stuck in a five-game goal drought. During his slump, the winger generated 10 shots on goal along with six blocked shots and four hits. With his role on the power play, Marner should break out of his drought sooner rather than later, though he remains a high-end playmaker rather than a pure scorer.

Marner dialed up a power-play assist in Friday's 3-2 win over the Red Wings as part of the Global Series in Sweden.
EDGE Analysis
Marner was uncharacteristically held without a point in three straight games leading up to this special contest in Stockholm. But fear not, as the electrifying puck prodigy -- already with five goals and 13 assists -- remains on pace for 92 points during his eighth season with the Maple Leafs. Additionally, Marner is averaging a career-high 3:36 of ice time on the power play, adding a goal and six helpers in those key situations. The Leafs now look ahead to Sunday's clash with the Wild to close out the Global Series.

Marner netted a goal and registered three assists in a 6-5 overtime victory over Tampa Bay on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Marner not only extended his scoring streak to seven games, but he also supplied his second straight four-point performance. Through 12 outings this year, the 26-year-old has five goals and 17 points. He just barely missed the 100-point milestone in 2018-19 (94 points), 2021-22 (97) and 2022-23 (99). As long as he stays healthy, there's a good chance this will be the season Marner crosses the century mark.

Marner scored a goal and added three assists in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Marner opened the scoring in the first, roofing the puck with a lightning release on a breakaway after taking a stretch pass from Calle Jarnkrok. Marner then set up all three of Auston Matthews' goals. It's his first multi-point game since Oct. 14 (nine contests). The 26-year-old is on a six-game, nine-point scoring streak that includes six apples. This outburst comes at a great time for fantasy managers who've had to be patient while they waited for Marner and Matthews to show off their chemistry.

Marner scored a goal Thursday in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
It was a sweet deke around Brandon Carlo in the left circle, followed by a deke. It's just the third goal for Marner, and it stretched his current point streak to five games and five points (two goals, three assists). It was nice to see Marner fire three shots because he'd gone the four games prior with a single shot. His shooting percentage (12.0) is a bit off his 15.3-plus tally from last season and 15.6 percent from 2020-21. Marner's luck will change soon.

Marner notched a power-play assist in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Marner set up John Tavares' third-period marker. The helper extended Marner's point streak to four games (one goal, three assists) as he continues to shake off some early inconsistency. The 26-year-old winger has two goals, six helpers, 22 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through nine outings. He's also shooting a mere 9.1 percent -- his previous low over a full season is 10.4, so there's some room for improvement in efficiency.

Marner scored a goal and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Marner tallied late in the second period, and his goal stood as the game-winner. The 26-year-old has two goals and an assist over his last four outings while adding 13 shots in that span. For the season, he has six points, 20 shots, four PIM and an even plus-minus rating. He's topped 90 points three times in his career, and with the strength of Toronto's offense, he should be able to chip in at a higher rate as the season progresses.

Marner picked up a power-play assist in a 4-1 win over the Capitals on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Marner dug the puck out of the corner and fed Auston Matthews in the left circle, and he made no mistake on a one-timer that went top cheddar past Darcy Kuemper. Marner is off to a relatively slow start, at least for him. He has one goal and four assists in six games so far. But that isn't likely to last long. A breakout is coming.

Marner picked up two assists in a 7-4 win over Minnesota on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Marner set up two of Auston Matthews' three goals on the night. And he almost singlehandedly scored after a dancing rush down the right wing and then around the crease in the third. The Leafs' best playmaker has three assists in his first two games.
