The Toronto Maple Leafs practiced without star winger Mitch Marner, who is attending the birth of his first child, but he is expected to play in their upcoming second-round matchup against the Florida Panthers. Marner achieved a career-high 102 points this season and has performed well in the postseason, scoring one goal and eight points in six games. In other league news, the Dallas Stars are hopeful that injured players Jason Robertson and Miro Heiskanen could return during round two, while Zeev Buium and Elias Lindholm are set to represent their countries at the World Championship.
