The Toronto Maple Leafs visit the Winnipeg Jets tonight as they look to continue their recent hot play. With a record of 9-1-1 over their last 11 games, the Leafs are the hottest team in the NHL.
Mason Marchment will make his NHL debut tonight, and the hope is he can bring a physical element to the game that the team is sorely missing.
Mason Marchment will make his NHL debut with #Leafs tonight. Gave huge credit to skating coach Barb Underhill: “I don't think I would be here today without Barb, so really kudos to her.”
What did she do for him? “She taught me how to skate!”
