The Toronto Maple Leafs have added another player from the Toronto Marlies to its roster.
The club called up forward Brendan Brisson and the forward was on the ice for the club’s optional skate ahead of their game against the Minnesota Wild on Thursday.

Brisson, the son of NHL super agent Pat, is the Marlies’ leading scorer with eight goals and nine assists in 14 games this season. The Leafs signed Brisson to a one-year, two-way contract on Sept. 4, 2026, that pays him the NHL minimum of $850,000 at the NHL level and $300,000 at the AHL level, per PuckPedia.com.
To make room for Brisson on the club’s 23-player roster, the Leafs moved Colton Sissons to injured reserve. The player sustained a lower-body injury in a 4-0 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Sunday.
It’s not clear at the moment if Brisson will play. Zack MacEwen, who was injured in the club’s most recent game on Tuesday against the Colorado Avalanche, did not practice on Wednesday and was seen wearing additional support around his wrist during the club’s optional skate.
More will be clear following the skate.
