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.

Toronto Maple Leafs’ forward Mitch Marner recorded his 500th career assist Thursday night against the Seattle Kraken, another major milestone in the young NHLer’s career.

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