The Toronto Maple Leafs announced Thursday that the hockey club has reassigned defenceman Stuart Percy to the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League.

Percy, 21, has been held pointless in nine games with the Toronto Marlies this season. Percy has also skated in eight games with the Maple Leafs in 2014-15, registering three assists and two penalty minutes. The Oakville, Ontario native became the first rookie defenceman in Maple Leafs history to record a point in each of his first three NHL games.

The Marlies return to the ice on Friday night when they travel to Utica (AHL affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks) for a 7 p.m. game. The Maple Leafs’ next game is Saturday against the Detroit Red Wings at Air Canada Centre.
