The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to give one of their defensive prospects a look down the stretch.

Calle Rosen will join the club in New York ahead of Monday's contest against the Islanders, Maple Leafs head coach Mike Babcock told reporters, including TSN's Mark Masters, on Saturday.

Babcock's plan is to have Rosen in the lineup until injured blue-liner Jake Gardiner returns, according to Masters.

Rosen has racked up 46 points in 54 games with the Toronto Marlies this season, in his second campaign with the Leafs' AHL affiliate.

The Leafs signed the 25-year-old to a two-year contract extension in December.

Toronto will face the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night.
