NHL 26 Trailer Features Mitch Marner Shooting On Maple Leafs — Does He Score?
The time of year has arrived when Electronic Arts teases the latest installment of its popular hockey video game series. On Thursday, the company dropped a two-minute trailer for NHL ’26 — and, as expected, they slipped in shots of players sporting their new teams’ jerseys.
One of those moments shows Mitch Marner in a fresh Vegas Golden Knights sweater, firing a shot on goal against his former team, the Toronto Maple Leafs. Marner left Toronto this summer after nine seasons with his hometown club, signing an eight-year, $96 million deal following a sign-and-trade to Vegas on June 30.
Some fans were quick to claim that Marner scores in the trailer, but the footage is far from conclusive. The clip cuts right after his shot, showing no crowd or player reaction. He’ll have a real chance to test that storyline when the Golden Knights face the Leafs in a pair of January matchups. Marner is coming off a career-best 102 points in the 2024–25 season, including 27 goals.
The trailer also gave Leafs fans something to cheer about. In one clear clip, star forward William Nylander buries a goal against the Boston Bruins — complete with crowd shots and Nylander’s energetic celebration.
NHL ’26 launches September 12 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Unfortunately, there’s no version planned for the new Nintendo Switch 2, so portable hockey fans will have to wait.
