"As fun as it would have been to make Marner the centre of attention and talk about how the anticipated boos affected him, one way or another, he was quiet in this game and took himself out of the spotlight entirely. He had no points in the win for Vegas and only one shot on goal, so there wasn't much to speak about from that point of view."
"On the Leafs' side, Vegas had more juice from the get-go, and combined with some obvious rust from goaltender Anthony Stolarz in his first game back since November 11, they piled on enough at the start of the game to ensure a win. Mark Stone scored two goals and added an assist to lead the way for the gold and black, and the Leafs had goals from John Tavares, Scott Laughton, and Bobby McMann to keep themselves in it."
"It feels like we've been a broken record saying this all year, but the Leafs' ability to comfortably drop points in games like this diminishes by the day. They've now lost three games in a row and sit on the outside looking into the playoff picture, and while they're still as in it as any other team, the rest of the Atlantic has shown that they have no desire to slow down."
The Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-3, building an early lead and sealing the win with a late power-play momentum boost. Mitch Marner was subdued in his Toronto return, recording no points and one shot on goal. Goaltender Anthony Stolarz displayed rust in his first game back since November 11, allowing Vegas to capitalize early. Mark Stone scored twice and added an assist, while John Tavares, Scott Laughton, and Bobby McMann scored for Toronto. The Leafs have lost three straight games, slipping further from playoff contention as the division pace intensifies ahead of the Olympic break.
