Connor Dewar speaks out following show-stopping performance with the Marlies
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Connor Dewar has been in a tough position to start the year as he was placed on the long-term injured reserve.
Overall, it has not been a great time for him. However, he was recently taken off of the LTIR alongside Jani Hakanpaa. It was then decided that the two would be heading down to the AHL to play for the Marlies. This would be part of a conditioning stint in which both players could find their way back to the league.
In his first game with the Marlies, against the Cleveland Monsters, Dewar was very impressive. In fact, he got himself a goal and an assist, which should impress the fans out there.
