Horrifying situation for NHL star Mitch Marner on Monday night ... the Maple Leafs forward was carjacked at gunpoint by multiple people in Toronto.
The Toronto Police Service tells TMZ Sports the incident went down at around 7:46 PM ... when three suspects -- two with handguns and one with a knife -- approached a black Range Rover.
The TPS does not name victims of crimes ... but Marner, according to multiple reports, was driving the Range Rover at the time.
Cops say the three suspects ended up jacking the vehicle -- and fled in it. Police said they're now searching the area.
Thankfully, cops added, there were no injuries in the incident.
This was absolutely an intentional pass-off-pad by Mitch Marner on the Auston Matthews game-winning goal. Just beautiful. pic.twitter.com/DnF2mPlmo1

According to the Toronto Sun -- which first reported the news -- Marner was "shaken up" on the scene, but was otherwise unharmed. He's expected to meet with media members on Tuesday.
It's been a rough week for the Leafs' playmaker ... 'cause the incident happened just two days after his team was bounced from the playoffs in Game 7 of their series with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
