Marner scores twice in Leafs’ 2-1 win over Sabres
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Mitchell Marner was the latest rookie to lead the Toronto Maple Leafs to victory.
Marner scored both goals in a 2-1 defeat of the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night. It was the Maple Leafs’ first road win of the season.
“He made the right plays at the right time,” said Maple Leafs goaltender Frederick Andersen, who made 42 saves. “It was cool to see him bury a couple there. Some big goals on the road here.”
The 19-year-old Marner scored for the first time since Oct. 15 and had his first two-goal game.
