Maple Leafs' Patrick Marleau: Among elite company in NHL history

And with that snipe, Marleau became the 25th player in league history to score against each of the 31 NHL teams. In this case, it came against his former squad. Marleau one-timed a pass from Andreas Johnsson from the bottom of the right face-off circle. After a slow start to the season, Patty has nine points (four goals, five assists) in 13 games in November.

Maple Leafs' Patrick Marleau: Continues producing at age 39

The 39-year-old veteran has seven helpers in his last 10 games and is scoring at the same rate as last year (0.57 points per game), putting him on pace to match his 2017-18 mark of 47 points. It's worth noting that Marleau is shooting less this season, averaging 2.05 shots per game, which is his lowest per-game shot output since 2001-02.

Maple Leafs' Patrick Marleau: Nets team's only goal

Marleau has not been getting goals this season -- he's been playing with shoot-first Auston Matthews, so it's not really a surprise. He may be 39, but he can still skate with the speedy young Leafs. Marleau was moved onto the team's first power-play unit Thursday and was parked in front of the net. It might be just what he needs to get on a roll.

Maple Leafs' Patrick Marleau: Lackluster in offensive zone

The Maple Leafs will need the veteran Marleau to start playing assertively since third-year stud Auston Matthews (shoulder) -- with whom he's occasionally played with at even strength -- will miss at least four weeks of action. Marleau has only registered 23 shots on goal through 12 games, which at least partially tells the story of why he's only scored once over that span. However, the silver lining is that the 39-year-old has averaged about 19 and a half minutes of ice time over the last two contests. As long as he continues to see playing time at or near season-high levels, Marleau should start to bust out of his slump.

Maple Leafs' Patrick Marleau: Two helpers in OT win

Both happened to be primary helpers, with one coming on the game-winning marker in overtime. The 39-year-old veteran has yet to score this season but does have four assists in three games. Playing a top-six role in potentially the league's most dynamic offense, Marleau could wind up doing wonders for fantasy owners in 2018-19.
