Audio: Quick hits with Mitchell Marner

19-year Toronto forward Mitch Marner, an offensive dynamo with the OHL’s London Knights for the last three seasons, has successfully transfered his scoring and playmaking ability to the NHL, totaling four goals and 10 points in his first 12 games. The rookie spoke with LA Kings Insider about the potent Maple Leafs attack, the approach coach Mike Babcock has taken with a young roster, and what he has to be cognizant of when matching up against a heavier and more experienced Los Angeles squad.
