In the hockey-crazed city of Toronto, where anything that the Toronto Maple Leafs do becomes a much-discussed focus of social media, many stories have the tendency to get covered and discussed to death.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner made headlines after becoming the fastest player in the franchise's history to reach the 700-point milestone.

TORONTO (AP) — William Nylander scored his second goal of the game at 1:10 of overtime to give the Toronto Maple Leafs a 4-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night.

Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube had high praise for Mitch Marner's 700-point milestone. The Maple Leafs right wing became the fastest to achieve 700 career points in the franchise’s history —622 games.
