Maple Leafs recall forward Pontus Holmberg from American Hockey League

TORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs recalled forward Pontus Holmberg from the American Hockey League on Thursday.

The club also loaned defenceman Max Lajoie to the Toronto Marlies in a corresponding move.

Holmberg has been held without a point in seven games for the Leafs this season. The 24-year-old winger, who was sent down to the AHL on Monday, has a goal and an assist in two contests with the Marlies.

The Leafs (6-5-2) have one win in their last six games (1-3-2) and just three regulation victories through 13 contests.

Booed off the ice in Wednesday’s 6-3 to the Ottawa Senators at Scotiabank Arena, Toronto has allowed four or more goals in each of its first seven home games to tie an ugly record set in 1976-77.
