Get stoked, Toronto Maple Leafs fans.
Top prospect Mitch Marner showed why he was selected fourth overall in the 2015 NHL Draft, putting the puck through his legs before roofing a perfect backhand for a filthy short-handed goal on Saturday.
Marner went on to net his second hat trick in as many games, leading the London Knights to a dominant 7-2 victory over the Ottawa 67's.
The 18-year-old now has a ridiculous 21 goals and 33 assists in just 24 games this season. He'll undoubtedly play a key role in Canada's quest for back-to-back gold medals at the world juniors later in the month.
