Leafs have now been in first place in the Atlantic for 52 days this season, which is 1 day more than FLA has. Leafs have won 3 straight and are at home vs Columbus on Wednesday. Marner 6 assists last 4 games, he sits 3 assists shy of 500 career. He will become the fourth Leafs player ever with 500 career assists (Borje, Mats, Sittler). Marner and his 52 assists on the season, is second to MacKinnon who has 56. I wouldn't put them on a line together with Canada, might be too much passing, not enough shots.
Willie (4) has scored in 3 straight games.Nylander (28) is second in goals behind Draisaitl (33). Marner (16) is tied with Pastrnak for most points in January, Matthews is T4 with 14 points this month.
Leafs take on a Blue Jackets tea tomorrow that has scored 1 goal their last 2 games, both games in the Empire State.
