Well-rounded Mitch Marner helping to pace Maple Leafs at both ends of the ice
TORONTO — Mitch Marner blocked one shot off his leg.
As he crumpled to the ice in pain, the winger usually known more for his speed and skill found himself nose-to-nose with another David Pastrnak one-timer that could have gone anywhere — including off his face.
Marner didn’t flinch.
The blast wound up hitting another body part a second before the final buzzer sounded in Toronto’s 3-2 victory over the Boston Bruins in Game 3 as the Maple Leafs grabbed 2-1 lead in their Eastern Conference quarterfinal.
