Earlier on Wednesday, the Toronto Maple Leafs placed veteran forward Max Pacioretty on the injured reserve list, retroactive to Jan. 18. That’s why the Leafs had to make a move and therefore recalled Jacob Quillan from the AHL’s Toronto Marlies in a corresponding move.

Toronto forward Max Pacioretty has been ruled out for the Maple Leafs' game Monday night against the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning because of an upper-body injury. Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube said after Pacioretty missed practice on Monday morning that the 17-year veteran won't play and his status for returning is day-to-day.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will have to play on without the services of veteran forward Max Pacioretty for the time being. On Monday morning, the team officially announced that Pacioretty would not participate in the team’s morning skate due to injury.
