Maple Leafs call up Brendan Brisson from the Marlies and place Colton Sissons on injured reserve.
Brisson leads the Marlies with eight goals and nine assists in 14 games, and he is the son of NHL agent Pat Brisson. Sissons was hurt in a 4-0 loss to the Devils on Sunday, and it was not clear at the time whether Brisson would play.
Pension Plan Puppets argues Chris Tanev's defense this season is worse than his career norm.
The blog says Tanev has been held out of two games for load management and cites Evolving Hockey RAPM values showing this is the worst defensive season of his career. It also names John Tavares, whose return from injury has brought more puck mistakes, as a second concern for Toronto.

The post gives Toronto's record as 8-10-2 and notes Colton Sissons was placed on injured reserve and Brendan Brisson was recalled.
