Yesterday, while the Leafs hosted the Jets in Toronto, they added two players from the AHL Marlies to the Taxi Squad.
The Marlies are currently not playing due to a COVID-19 concern of unidentified type affecting an unidentified player, and Nick Robertson spent one day on the NHL’s COVID protocol list as a precaution, since he’d recently been at Marlies practices.
The two players recalled to the squad must have been cleared to make this move to the Leafs practices — the main purpose of the Taxi Squad is to have the players available to practice and go on road trips.
