Maple Leafs activate Chris Tanev from IR, Dakota Mermis assigned to Marlies from AHL
“I don’t think anyone mimics anyone else. Sometimes your symptoms can last for a while; sometimes they don’t. Sometimes it’s a headache; sometimes it’s just pressure in the head. It could be your mood. I mean, there are so many different things a person can feel, and I don’t think anyone is the same.”
Tanev recorded one assist in seven games this season and he will certainly be welcomed back into the lineup as the Maple Leafs’ rushing defense remains a major concern thus far. Toronto has surrendered 31 goals at 5-on-5, the second-worst total in the NHL entering Saturday. Tanev recorded three goals and 18 points in 75 games last season, maintaining his reputation as one of the league’s best defenders and shot blockers during his first year with the Maple Leafs.
Mermis played in one game for the Maple Leafs, recording 13:12 and a -2 rating during a 5–3 loss to the Buffalo Sabers on October 24.
