The Toronto Maple Leafs have sent forward Kasperi Kapanen back to the Marlies, at least for the all-star break.

Kapanen was recalled to the NHL on Tuesday and played in a pair of wins over Chicago and Dallas.

The 21-year-old was set to be an AHL all-star, but will instead be replaced by teammate Andreas Johnsson.

He has 12 goals and 22 points in 27 games with the Marlies, and has two goals in eight games with the Leafs.
