The Toronto Maple Leafs made a roster move in advance of Monday's game against Anaheim.
Roman Polak has been activated off injured reserve while Andreas Borgman has been loaned to the AHL's Toronto Marlies.
Polak last played on Jan. 25, missing three games due to illness. The veteran defenseman was paired with rookie Travis Dermott in the morning skate, according to Kevin McGran of the Toronto Star.
"Polak is important," said coach Mike Babcock. "A good player for us, a real good penalty killer. We gave up two power play goals last game (against Boston). Polak fits in and Dermott really seems to move the puck."
Polak has recorded two goals, four assists, and 27 shots in 32 games this season.
