SEATTLE — Mitch Marner will be back in the Maple Leafs lineup when they face the Seattle Kraken on Thursday night. Marner missed his first game this season in Calgary on Tuesday night with what he called a “spasm thing” that popped up suddenly earlier in the week.

Marner didn't want to get into specifics on the lower-body injury but noted it had nothing to do with his previous game.

The Devils are also without goalie Jacob Markstrom, who was injured in a 5-1 win against the Boston Bruins on Jan. 22. He will be out 4-6 weeks because of a sprained MCL in his knee and won't play for Team Sweden at 4 Nations. Samuel Ersson of the Philadelphia Flyers was named an injury replacement. -- Mike G.
