"The @MapleLeafs have recalled D Max Lajoie from the @TorontoMarlies."
The team has faced a significant challenge with John Klingberg, Mark Giordano, and Timothy Liljegren sidelined, necessitating the promotion of a defenseman from the AHL.
Lajoie, aged 26, has accumulated 15 points across 71 NHL games, playing for the Senators, Hurricanes, and Leafs. He was originally drafted by Ottawa in the 5th round of the 2016 draft.
