Mitch Marner picked up where he left off last season, leading the Leafs in scoring in the pre-season. He plays the power play and the penalty kill, creating scoring opportunities now matter how many of his teammates are on the ice. “When you’re on the power play, you know it’s uncomfortable when you’re feeling pressure down ice and the breakout is in shambles. “Just have to pressure people a lot.” The Leafs’ penalty kill seems very aggressive, regardless of which players are on the ice. For one thing, Marner had enough to learn about playing at even strength and the power play.
