The veteran forward has been sidelined with an upper-body injury after taking a puck to the side of the head.
In 32 games with the Leafs this season, the 36-year-old has five goals and seven assists.
Toronto has also recalled Jacob Quillan from the AHL’s Toronto Marlies.
The 22-year-old has played predominately as the Marlies’ third-line centre, registering six goals and 15 points in 35 games.
The Dartmouth, N.S. native signed with the Leafs last season as a college free agent to a two-year, entry-level contract.
Quillan won the NCAA national championship in 2023 as a sophomore — beating out Matthew Knies’ Minnesota Golden Gophers — with Quinnipiac after potting the overtime winner, also earning tournament MVP at the Frozen Four.
