Watch: Marner's goal gives Leafs first shootout win of season
Robert Mayer-USA TODAY Sports
It took 10 shots but Mitch Marner finally slipped one by Florida Panthers netminder Roberto Luongo.
After the rookie forward was turned aside nine times through three periods and the 3-on-3 overtime, Toronto Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock tapped Marner as one of his three shootout weapons.
This time, Marner sealed the victory, and with it, gave the Maple Leafs their first win in the shootout this season in six tries.
Auston Matthews and William Nylander scored in regulation for the Maple Leafs, while Jonathan Marchessault and Vincent Trocheck replied for the Panthers.
With the victory, the Maple Leafs' record improved to 15-12-7 through 34 games.
