Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner has officially been ruled out against the Calgary Flames and the team is now disclosing the injury he is suffering from.
Mitch Marner won't play against the Calgary Flames
With the game just minutes away, fans have been waiting patiently to see if Marner would crack the lineup.
Unfortunately, he will not. The Leafs just took to social media to confirm that Marner has been ruled out for tonight's game.
Moreover, the team disclosed that the forward is suffering from a lower-body injury and that he is day-to-day as a result.
It is unknown when or how Marner obtained this injury. Although the prevailing theory is that he injured his foot against the Edmonton Oilers after blocking a shot.
Whatever the case may be, this is a huge blow to the Maple Leafs as Marner has been their best forward this season.
He has 70 points in 52 games and has consistently been their best player on a nightly basis.
Marner is slated to play for Team Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off and one has to wonder if that is in jeopardy now.
