Marner scored a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Both points came in the second period as Toronto grabbed a 3-2 lead, but multiple defensive miscues eventually cost the team the victory. Marner has found the scoresheet in seven straight games, racking up two goals and 11 points over that stretch, and the 25-year-old is well on his way to another elite scoring season -- and perhaps, if he can avoid injuries, his first career campaign with 100-plus points.

Marner registered an assist in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Marner has been playmaking at a high level lately, as he's earned eight helpers and a goal during his six-game point streak. The 25-year-old has been held off the scoresheet only twice in 13 contests. He's earned two goals, 12 assists, 25 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-1 rating while playing in his usual top-line role. Five of his helpers have come on the power play.

Marner set up two goals Saturday in a 2-1 win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Marner is on a five-game, eight-point scoring streak (one goal, seven assists). Coach Sheldon Keefe seems to have scaled back his ice time a little bit over the same span and that might have been the ticket to the uptick in output. Marner had seen more than 26 minutes of ice time in three of the four games before the streak. But during it, his ice time mostly hovered between 20:30 and 22:00. Keep an eye on his usage. An exhausted Marner isn't a helpful Marner.

Marner dished out two assists -- one on the power play -- in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Marner helped set up Auston Matthews on the man advantage before assisting on the second of John Tavares' three goals. The playmaking winger returned to a high-usage role after being benched for part of Toronto's previous game, as Marner led all Maple Leafs forwards with 21:24 TOI. He's averaging a point per game through 11, and nine of those have been assists.

Marner was benched in the third period of Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
The Leafs were up 3-1 with 13 minutes left and the Leafs seemed to be in control, bu two Marner giveaways led directly to two Ducks goals. And they then lost in overtime. Coach Sheldon Keefe kept him on the bench the next time the Auston Matthews' line hopped the boards. We're certain the point was made, even if it was for just one shift.

Marner picked up a power-play assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
He set up John Tavares for a tic-tac-goal in the first, and finished with four shots and two hits in 24:45. Marner has eight points (two goals, six assists) in nine games, but like most of the Leafs has struggled to really click in any zone. The team is too good for that to go on much longer and Marner's production should soon take a leap.

Marner scored a goal, dished an assist and logged three hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
This was Marner's first multi-point effort of the campaign. He's been solid in a top-six role with two goals and five helpers in eight contests, but fantasy managers expect more of a player who went no later than the second round in most formats. The 25-year-old has added 14 shots on net, nine hits and a plus-2 rating. He looked good with Alex Kerfoot joining Marner and Auston Matthews on the top line, so it's likely that trio sticks together a while.

Marner was credited with an assist as the Maple Leafs earned a 4-1 win over the Jets on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Marner etched his name in the scorebook with a third-period helper but accomplished little else Saturday. Other than a positive rating on an empty-net goal, Marner did not generate a shot or produce a hit during 19:17 of ice time. The 25-year-old right winger has compiled four points (one goal, three assists) in five outings.

Marner picked up an assist in a 3-2 win over Ottawa on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Late in the third, Marner fed the puck to line mate Michael Burting, whose backhander at the side of the net created a rebound for Justin Holl, who jammed the puck in. Marner now has an assist in each of the Leafs' first three games of the season.

Marner delivered a power-play assist in a 3-2 win over Washington on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
That's an assist in each of the Leafs' first two games, but more importantly, Marner fired five shots Thursday night. He had just one Wednesday against Montreal. His incredible offensive output last season came on the back of high shot totals and it's good to see that continuing.
