Toronto Maple Leafs Recall Jacob Quillan From AHL

The Toronto Maple Leafs have recalled forward Jacob Quillan from the Toronto Marlies, the team announced Wednesday.

The move comes after forward Max Pacioretty was placed on injured reserve.

Quillan, who signed with the Maple Leafs as an undrafted free agent last year, has had a strong start to his rookie season in pro hockey. Through 35 games, he has scored six goals and added nine assists for 15 points.

Prior to signing an entry-level deal with the Maple Leafs, Quillan played three seasons with Quinnipiac (NCAA), compiling 38 goals and 93 points in 116 career games.

As Quillan joins the Maple Leafs, no matter if he draws into the lineup or not, it will be a good learning experience. As someone who has impressed at every level he's played at, Quillan could be a candidate to make the team out of training camp next season.
