Overall, this is going to be an interesting game, and Marner will also have to play a role.
In fact, prior to today's game, Marner was asked if he and Matthews have had a conversation since the 4 Nations Face-Off.
As the forward explained, they were on the plane home from Boston and it was here where they just had general conversations about how the tournament ultimately played out.
