Maple Leafs announce roster move after 2nd straight loss

Two games, two straight losses for the Toronto Maple Leafs. And now, a lineup change has been announced in the wake of their latest setback. 

The Leafs have announced that they've brought up forward Pontus Holmberg from the American Hockey League affiliate Toronto Marlies, while also loaning defenseman Simon Benoit to said. 

The 24 year old Swedish native scored five goals and eight assists in the 37 games he appeared in with Toronto last season; he'd already scored a goal with an assists in the pair of games he played with the Marlies so far this fall. 

Meanwhile, Benoit has yet to suit up in a game for the Leafs this season; he spent last year with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring three goals and seven assists in 78 games.
