SEATTLE — Mitch Marner will be back in the Maple Leafs lineup when they face the Seattle Kraken on Thursday night. Marner missed his first game this season in Calgary on Tuesday night with what he called a “spasm thing” that popped up suddenly earlier in the week.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have announced that star winger Mitch Marner is dealing with an injury and is officially listed as day-to-day. In a worrisome development on Tuesday, Mitch Marner missed his second straight practice. Initially given a maintenance day, it seemed that things were a bit worse than originally thought.

Marner didn't want to get into specifics on the lower-body injury but noted it had nothing to do with his previous game.
