Craig Berube Finally Gives Maple Leafs Fans Some Good News About Mitch Marner
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner missed last night's game against the Calgary Flames but Craig Berube doesn't believe his absence will last very long.
Mitch Marner has been the best player on the Toronto Maple Leafs this season, although last night, he was ruled out against the Flames due to a lower-body injury.

When this news broke, there was a ton of concern among fans, especially since the team went on a three-game losing streak without John Tavares and Matthew Knies.
As soon as those players returned, the Leafs started playing well again, which just shows how much those top line guys mean to the team.
However, despite Marner's absence, the Maple Leafs were able to score a convincing 6-3 win against the Flames, giving themselves a two-game winning streak.
After the game, head coach Craig Berube spoke about the injury to his first-line forward, noting that it isn't so bad and he could be back as early as Thursday against the Seattle Kraken.
In 52 games this season, Mitch Marner has managed to get 70 points with only 16 of these points being goals.
The forward is having a career year and it comes at a very special time as he is negotiating a new contract that could pay him north of $14 million per year.
There are some teams who are monitoring his situation, and it seems like the Utah Hockey Club is readying an offering if things with the Maple Leafs go south.
Whatever the case may be, Marner is having a great year and the Leafs will be happy to have him back in the lineup.
Not to mention, he is slated to play in the 4 Nations Face-Off which is set to begin next week.
