Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving Shares Insights on Mitch Marner's Injury

"In all likelihood, it is a minor injury, but we want to be respectful of it."


"We have some time now. Mitch has been off the ice for the last couple of days, but we will ramp him up this week and take it day by day to see how he is feeling. Hopefully, he will be back sooner rather than later."

"It hasn't been responding the way we had hoped," coach Sheldon Keefe said of Marner's injury and the team's medical staff. "So just stepping back a little bit."

"He's not going to be coming on the trip with us. We're just trying to get him to the point where he's comfortable throughout the week. So, he's day-to-day away from being day-to-day.

Regarding Mitch being out, it creates more opportunity for others to step up and to grow. For us, we can learn more about them," said Keefe. "And, at the same time for someone like Mitch specifically, who hasn't really had any time off, in the long run for him... as much as we miss him, I think it'll be beneficial for him when he does get back."
