Watch: Marner makes early exit vs. Blue Jackets after crashing into boards

The Toronto Maple Leafs were forced to finish Wednesday's eventual loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets without rookie Mitch Marner.

Marner, who leads all NHL rookies with 48 points, went in for a hit on Boone Jenner, but missed and fell into the boards.

He went to the locker room and came back to the bench on two separate occasions, but was eventually prompted to call it a night.

Toronto is off until Saturday, and Marner's status will be updated as it becomes available.
