Marner (undisclosed) took line rushes in warmups and is expected to play Wednesday versus the Canadiens, NHL.com's Dave McCarthy reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marner was deemed a game-time decision Wednesday after leaving Tuesday's practice with an undisclosed issue. The star winger lined up alongside John Tavares and Nick Ritchie in warmups -- that trio is expected to serve as the Maple Leafs' top line.

Marner (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision versus Montreal on Wednesday, Joshua Kloke of The Athletic Toronto reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marner was on the ice for the team's optional morning skate, so it would appear he is trending in the right direction. In five NHL seasons, the 24-year-old Ontario native has never missed the 60-point threshold and should be capable of far exceeding that mark with a full 82-game campaign. If Marner does miss out Wednesday, William Nylander or Pierre Engvall would likely be elevated to a first-line role.

Marner (undisclosed) exited Tuesday's practice early due to precautionary reasons and will be reevaluated Wednesday morning, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
At this point it doesn't sound like Marner is in danger of missing Wednesday's regular-season opener versus Montreal, but fantasy managers will want to check in following morning skate to verify the 24-year-old forward's status. Marner racked up 20 goals and 67 points in 55 contests last campaign.

Marner notched an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
Marner set up a Zach Hyman goal in the second period. The 24-year-old Marner has provided four helpers, 14 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through five postseason contests. The playmaking winger will look to step things up on offense in Saturday's Game 6.

Marner notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canadiens in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Marner had the secondary helper on Auston Matthews' go-ahead goal in the second period. The 24-year-old Marner also set up Rasmus Sandin's insurance tally. After leading the Maple Leafs with 67 points in 55 regular-season contests, Marner will attempt to keep a similar level of success in the postseason. His top-line role and work on the first power-play unit should give him plenty of opportunities to contribute.

Marner (rest) will be back in the lineup against Montreal on Thursday, Mark Masters of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marner was rested for the season finale but will be back in action for Game 1. In his previous 10 tilts, the elite winger racked up 13 points, 28 shots and seven blocks while averaging 21:53 of ice time. The 24-year-old Marner figures to be back on both the top line and No. 1 power-play unit and should be an elite fantasy target.

Marner (rest) won't be in the lineup for Friday's regular-season finale versus Winnipeg, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marner will get the night off to get some extra rest ahead of Thursday's Game 1 matchup with Montreal. The 24-year-old forward has been fantastic this season, racking up 20 goals and 67 points while posting a plus-21 rating through 55 contests. With Marner in the press box, Adam Brooks will draw into the lineup against the Jets.

Marner scored the game-winning goal Saturday in a 3-2 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
It was his 20th of the season. Marner has 67 points in 54 games and 358 points in 354 games over this NHL career. He's the model of consistency, too -- he's never gone three games without a point this season. Marner drives the offense in Toronto and sits tied with Brad Marchand for third in the NHL.

Marner scored a goal and dished an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Marner put the Maple Leafs ahead at 17:21 of the first period, then assisted on Auston Matthews' insurance tally in the third. The 24-year-old Marner saw his six-game point streak end Monday, but he didn't take long to bounce back. The playmaking winger has 19 tallies, 66 points, 151 shots on net and a plus-23 rating in 53 contests this season.

Marner picked up two assists in a 5-1 win over the Canucks on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Marner has 10 points (four goals, six assists) on his current six-game point streak. His assists came on tape-to-tape dishes to Auston Matthews, the NHL's top goal scorer, who made no mistake with the passes. Marner is already scoring at just better than a point-per-game pace over his career (355 in 351 games). Given his chemistry with Matthews, Marner's per-game production is likely on the way up.
