TORONTO -- The play didnt actually result in a goal in Torontos 4-2 victory over
Washington, but came pretty close, another demonstration of the ease with which
the NHL seems to be coming to Maple Leafs rookie Mitch Marner.
Lions
Jerseys Online .It was late in the second period Saturday night
when Marner circled the Washington goal with puck in tow, cut back through the
slot to where he started and then whipped a pass across the ice to Tyler Bozak,
his attempt denied by reigning Vezina Trophy winner Braden Holtby.Marner had his
eyes up the whole way, scanning the ice for opportunities, not bothered
seemingly by Marcus Johansson, the Capitals winger trailing on the play.When you
see him start wheeling the zone like that and going for a full lap you know its
a confident player, linemate James van Riemsdyk said.Marner had already set up
two Toronto goals at that point, vaulting into a share of first in the rookie
scoring race while helping the Leafs end a three-game losing streak.The
19-year-old, now with 18 points, has matched Winnipeg sensation Patrik Laine for
first among rookies, and also tied van Riemsdyk for the Leafs scoring lead.
Marner leads all NHL rookies with 14 even-strength points, boasting six
multi-point outings in his first 21 NHL games.Hes a guy who loves the game and
he works really hard at it so the skys the limit for him, van Riemsdyk
said.Marner set up goals from van Riemsdyk and Matt Martin, and Matthews scored
his first goal at home in more than a month. Nazem Kadri added his ninth goal of
the season.Nicklas Backstrom and Marcus Johansson scored, and Holtby made 37
saves for Washington.We didnt look like the Washington Capitals out there at
all, Holby said. Completely embarrassed by a young team. Its not acceptable in
our culture here. Were going to have to be better. Every one of us. It was
completely embarrassing.Off since a Wednesday night shootout loss in New Jersey
and facing a Washington squad playing its third game in four nights, the Maple
Leafs appeared the much fresher team early.Martin opened the scoring less than 3
minutes in when he got behind the Washington tandem of John Carlson and Dmitry
Orlov and beat Holtby for his second goal of the season and second in two games.
The 27-year-old, who went the first 19 games of the year without a goal, was set
up beautifully on the play by Marner, the 19-year-old firing a dart from one
blue line to the other for his 17th point of the season.The Leafs kept it coming
after the goal, outshooting the Capitals 12-1 at one point in the first while
drawing three power plays. They came close to beating Holtby once more, but the
reigning Vezina Trophy winner stood his ground, turning aside the final 12 shots
of the period.The home side grabbed their fourth power play of the game moments
into the second when Peter Holland gained a step on Capitals defenseman Karl
Alzner, held as he broke free for an opportunity on Holtby. Holland was in the
lineup for only his eighth game this year because 20-year-old rookie William
Nylander was sidelined with an upper body injury (day-to-day).With the power
play it was Marner again showing his skill. He dropped a soft pass into the slot
for fellow rookie Nikita Soshnikov and while his attempt was denied, the puck
landed right in front of van Riemsdyk. He promptly flipped the puck over Holtbys
left pad for his team-leading ninth goal this season.Toronto got in and out of
trouble a short while later. With Zach Hyman already in the box for holding, Leo
Komarov was then whistled for hooking, giving the Capitals a 24-second
five-on-three advantage. The Leafs managed to kill off both penalties though and
escape unharmed.Holtby continued to perform throughout a more evenly-played
second, countered at the other end by Andersen. The Leafs No. 1 stopped Taylor
Chorney streaking down the right side with a glove save and then turned aside
both Matt Niskanen and Backstrom on another Capitals man advantage.Marner
continued to dazzle otherwise. After blocking a Justin Williams shot and
hobbling off the bench the Thornhill, Ont., native then returned to make another
eye-catching play. With puck in tow and Johansson trailing, Marner circled
around the net, cut back through the slot to where he started and then flung a
pass to Tyler Bozak, his attempt just above the goal-line denied by
Holtby.Matthews padded the Leafs lead to three 22 seconds into the third when he
blasted a Matt Hunwick rebound for his ninth goal of the season.Andersen made
maybe his best stop of the game near the midway point of the final period,
stretching to snatch Carlsons attempt with his glove.Backstrom scored a short
time later, stuffing a shot into the goal on a scramble around the net.Game
notes Toronto had dropped its previous three games all by a goal (0-2-1), downed
by Montreal, Carolina and New Jersey.UP NEXT:Capitals: Have four days off before

Sgt. Eric ONeal says most of the arrests at Monday nights game were for public
drunkenness, though one person was taken into custody on suspicion of trying to
steal a seat from the stadium. Patience doesnt always prevail in the NFL. We see
it each year as the coaching and general manager carousels spin -- a tenure of
five years in either capacity is considered long these days.Every season?could
be considered?a prove-it year in this league. That, of course, extends to
players.Lets take a look at seven players facing make-or-break seasons in 2016,
and why this year is such a critical juncture of their?careers.Eddie Lacy, RB,
Green Bay PackersWeve seen two different Lacys in his first three seasons in the
league. Is the real Lacy the one who ran through, over annd around defenders
during his first two seasons, or the?one who stumbled through the 2015 season in
underwhelming fashion?At his best, Lacy is the centerpiece of an offense.

soft hands to catch the football. Last season, Lacys physique played a part in
his performance, but he worked hard this offseason to get his weight down (in
