The Toronto Maple Leafs recalled winger Matt Frattin from the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League, the team announced Thursday.
The move comes one day after Joffrey Lupul suffered a broken forearm in the Leafs’ 5-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
With Joffrey Lupul fracturing his right forearm last night, Matt Frattin has been recalled by the #leafs.

Last season, Frattin played 56 games with the Maple Leafs registering eight goals and 15 points.
Frattin didn’t make the Leafs roster out of training camp last week after Colton Orr and newcomer Leo Komarov earned spots. This season with the Marlies, Frattin has nine goals and 17 points in 21 games.
It is unknown at this time how much playing time Frattin will get and what line he will play on.
