Marner's 41st assist sets Maple Leafs rookie record

Another game, another franchise record broken for the Toronto Maple Leafs' incredible crop of rookies.
Just two days after Auston Matthews broke Wendel Clark's rookie goal record, Mitch Marner set a mark of his own.
With a secondary assist on James van Riemsdyk's first period goal Thursday night, Marner established a new franchise record in assists by a freshman (41), eclipsing the previous mark set by Gus Bodnar in the 1943-44 season.

The helper also pushed Marner into a tie with William Nylander - the other prominent figure in Toronto's rookie triumvirate - for second in team scoring with 58 points on the season.
