Report: Marner expected to miss Sunday’s game vs. Jets

After being held out of the Toronto Maple Leafs' contest against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday, star winger Mitch Marner is also expected to miss Sunday's game against the Winnipeg Jets, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported on "32 Thoughts" during Hockey Night in Canada.

Friedman added that Marner's absence is likely precautionary and that the Leafs will have a clearer picture of his situation once they come back from their two-game road trip.

Marner took the brunt of a collision with Toronto defenseman Jake Muzzin in practice Friday, according to TSN's Mark Masters.

Here's how the Leafs lined up without the 24-year-old Saturday:

Marner has 21 points in 24 games so far this season and leads Toronto with 15 assists.
