Fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs were feeling pretty frustrated just a few days back. What’s the reason for that? So, the Ottawa Senators were really close to making a comeback in Round 1, but the Maple Leafs managed to secure their spot in Round 2 during Game 6. It seems like there’s a chance that Mitch Marner, the Maple Leafs forward, could miss the Round 2 game against the Florida Panthers on May 6.
What’s the reason for that? On X, Chris Johnston reported: “Mitch Marner is absent from #leafs practice after his wife Stephanie gave birth to a baby boy.” Marner missed team practice recently because he and his wife, Stephanie LaChance, welcomed their first child—a baby boy!
A few months ago, the couple shared the exciting news that they were expecting their first child. Marner’s not around right now because of this personal milestone, but it looks like it won’t impact his availability for the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs coming up. So, there are definitely mixed feelings about the NHL star and whether he’ll be available for Round 2.
