Maple Leafs’ Mitch Marner, Anthony Stolarz playing vs. Kraken

Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube talks about Anthony Stolarz and his return to the lineup ahead of their clash with the Seattle Kraken.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will have two important players back in the lineup Thursday night.

Mitch Marner and Anthony Stolarz will be back on the ice as the Leafs visit the Seattle Kraken.

Marner missed Tuesday’s win over the Calgary Flames with a lower-body injury. He leads the Maple Leafs in scoring this season and is fifth overall in the NHL with 70 points in 52 games.

Stolarz hasn’t seen game action since Dec. 12 due to a lower-body injury. Before his injury, Stolarz was one of the NHL’s top goalies with a 2.15 goals-against average and .927 save percentage.

In a corresponding move after activating Stolarz from injured reserve Thursday, the Maple Leafs announced that goaltender Matt Murray has been assigned to the AHL’s Toronto Marlies.
