[Siegel] Sheldon Keefe says Mitch Marner will remain out the next two games but will rejoin practice on Friday. That sets him up for a potential return some time next week. Marner has already missed eight games with a high ankle sprain.

We miss you, Mitch!
Biggest positive out of his absence is the glaring hole left in the lineup with him out. People who are on the trade Mitch narrative can fuck right off. He’s a top 5-10 winger in the NHL and plays heavy PP and PK minutes while playing the opponents top lines 5 on 5 night in and night out. You would have a hard time finding 1 guy let alone 2 guys at his cap hit.
He’s sorely missed on the PK. Up through that game v Boston, our PK had 8.24 GA/60 with 7.89 xGA/60. Since then, it’s dropped to 12.53 GA/60 with 8.84 xGA/60. That’s a GA/60 increase of **over 50%** in those eight games.
absolutely pathethic the way he injured himself.
He’s definitely integral to their success but other issues prevail even when he was in the lineup.
8 games bcuz he over thought things and didn’t shoot at the empty night
