Craig Berube makes a revelation about Mitch Marner's game
Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube has done a lot of good with the team this season and Mitch Marner has been a beneficiary of his coaching.
Last night, the Maple Leafs played against the Utah Hockey Club and came away with a 3-2 win.
During the game, Mitch Marner proved to be one of the best players on the ice.
He finished the game with two of the team's three goals, while William Nylander was able to score the third goal, and the eventual game-winner.
Marner has been leading the team in points this season and many feel as though his game has been completely elevated.
According to Berube, there isn't really much different going on with Marner right about now.
Instead, he is simply shooting the puck more, which has led to more goals in big situations.
Craig Berube on Mitch Marner
"I think it is business as usual. Even early on in the year, he was playing really good hockey for us in all situations - not just scoring. I find he is shooting a little bit more, which is great. I think he can still shoot more, but he is doing a really good job."
A big knock on Marner over the years has been how at times, he appears to be a bit timid when it comes to shooting the puck.
However, that has not been an issue over the last few games and it is finally leading to some goals.
With Auston Matthews out of the Maple Leafs lineup, some extra goal scoring has absolutely been appreciated.
Now, the Maple Leafs have won seven of their last eight games and boast a record of 13-6-2. As a result, they are first in the Atlantic Division.
