"Ahead of that game, head coach Craig Berube praised the young player for the potential he's shown. "I love Quillan's energy and his speed," Berube said. "He's a young kid, but he could come in and provide what we need, I think tonight, and going forward. I think he's getting close to being an NHL player and a full-time one with his ability. I mean, it's a good opportunity for him tonight.""
"Quillan previously played two other games with the Leafs this season when he was called up in mid-November amidst a slew of injuries. He was then returned to the Marlies at the end of the month. His NHL debut came last season with the Leafs, playing one game in late January. In four games played, he has yet to record a point in the NHL. So far this season with the Marlies, Quillan has five goals and 23 points in 26 games played."
Jacob Quillan has been assigned to the Toronto Marlies of the AHL after a recall to the Toronto Maple Leafs. He was called up in late December amid injuries and played in a 4-0 win over the New Jersey Devils, logging seven minutes and finishing plus-one. Head coach Craig Berube praised Quillan's energy, speed and potential, saying he is close to being a full-time NHL player. Quillan has four NHL games with no points. With the Marlies he has five goals and 23 points in 26 games. He signed out of Quinnipiac University in 2024, is on the final year of his entry-level contract and will be a restricted free agent at 24. He was ranked #11 on The Leafs Nation's 2025 prospect list.
