Mitch Marner played his best game of the season for the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday.

He logged a team-high 24 minutes. He scored the overtime winner moments after he disrupted hockey’s most inevitable two-on-one by somehow batting down Leon Draisaitl’s passing attempt to Connor McDavid. He became the 16th Leaf to score 200 goals.

. . .

The Leafs have somehow won five of six games without Auston Matthews. Marner has multi-point games in all five wins. In addition to Saturday’s OT winner, Marner scored the game-tying goal with less than a minute left in regulation when the Leafs beat the Washington Capitals, also in OT.

Marner is on pace for what would be a career-best 104 points.
