Leafs Notebook: Mitch Marner’s usage since his return, PK & PP adjustments ahead of the playoffs, and load-management considerations

In this week’s notebook, as we enter the final few days of the regular season, we’ll reflect on the team’s 2-1-1 week before jumping into postseason preparation.

ICYMI, earlier today, I discussed Sheldon Keefe’s playoff approach and the merits of a three-line attack vs. stacking two lines.

– In the nine games before Mitch Marner’s return, the Leafs penalty kill went 24 for 28. Connor Dewar was second among forwards in shorthanded time on ice per game, playing all nine of those games and averaging 2:33 per night.
