Maple Leafs assign Henry Thrun, Dakota Mermis to Toronto Marlies, call up Marshall Rifai
"We need more desperation defending, and the goalies need to stop the puck,"
"That's it. We can score goals. We score goals. But until we want to keep the puck out of our net, this is what we're going to get. It is no more than that. I don't want to talk about it anymore. That's all it is. I don't need to learn anything about our team. I know our team, and we're capable of doing it. We can do it."
Toronto assigned defencemen Henry Thrun and Dakota Mermis to the AHL's Toronto Marlies and recalled defenceman Marshall Rifai. Thrun recorded no points in four NHL games and had three goals and 14 points in 28 Marlies games after being acquired from San Jose for Ryan Reaves. Mermis cleared waivers after one goal in 11 NHL games and has not recorded a point in three Marlies games. Rifai has four assists in 12 Marlies games, missed the season start with a preseason wrist injury, underwent surgery, and cleared waivers in December. Rifai adds physical presence to a Leafs defence struggling during a five-game losing streak and joins the team on a road trip before the Olympic break.
