The 25-year-old Kerfoot has appeared in 179 career NHL contests and has never faced supplemental discipline.
He was playing against his former team, as the Leafs acquired the 5-foot-10 pivot as part of the July deal that sent forward Nazem Kadri to Colorado.
In 22 games with the Leafs this season, Kerfoot has contributed five goals and eight points.
