Asked about the state of extension talks with not only Marner but John Tavares and pending RFA Matthew Knies earlier this month, Leafs GM Brad Treliving said, “Those are things that we always are looking at and talking about and rumbling around, but nothing to report right now.”

Matthew Knies joins a long list of injured Leafs that has had a trickle-down effect on the rest of the lineup.

The 20-year-old centered the Maple Leafs' third line with Max Domi and Nick Robertson on his wings. Minten was recalled from the Marlies on Thursday after John Tavares went down with an injury at practice. Before Toronto's morning skate got underway, a few of the team's injured players were seen on the ice.
