Mitch Marner took exactly one shift on defense against the New Jersey Devils, and it was enough for head coach Sheldon Keefe to table that idea for the rest of the contest. He had a 1-v-1 against Devils' captain Nico Hischier and got cooked like a Thanksgiving turkey.

Personally, I think deploying Marner on defense could be a useful tactic here and there. In this one case, however, it almost ended in disaster.
What a move by Nico Hischier though, he is having a stellar campaign so far. The Devils won their 11th straight game with the overtime victory in Toronto.
