Marner's reception in upcoming Toronto return with Golden Knights will be interesting
Key Points:
- The Detroit Red Wings recently retired Sergei Fedorov's No. 91, marking a long-overdue homecoming for the Hall of Famer, as discussed by NHL.com columnist Nicholas J. Cotsonika on the "NHL @TheRink" podcast.
- Cotsonika compared Fedorov's departure and reception in Detroit to the upcoming homecoming of Mitch Marner, who will face the Toronto Maple Leafs for the first time since joining the Vegas Golden Knights.
- Marner, a former Maple Leafs player and Toronto native, left the team via a sign-and-trade, and the true test of Toronto fans' feelings toward him will occur during his return to Scotiabank Arena on January 23.
