Overview
- Toronto placed defenseman Brandon Carlo on injured reserve retroactive to Nov. 13 after he missed Saturday’s game with a lower-body injury.
- The club recalled 23-year-old forward Jacob Quillan from the AHL Marlies following a point-per-game start with two goals and 14 points in 14 games.
- Auston Matthews, Scott Laughton and Chris Tanev remain on injured reserve, leaving the team short on depth at multiple positions.
- Cap sites report the Leafs had limited LTIR space, and they likely moved an existing IR player, most plausibly Tanev, to LTIR to create room for Quillan’s recall.
- With top right-shot defenders Carlo and Tanev unavailable, recent waiver claim Troy Stecher is a potential option to enter the defense corps.
