Mike Augello: Gardiner Recalled; Rangers Rally And Romp Over Leafs

As expected, the minor league stint of Jake Gardiner lasted one game, as the Maple Leafs have called up the 22 year old defenseman from the Toronto Marlies.

Is Jake Gardiner A Star Or Flash In The Pan?

Originally drafted in the first round (17th overall) of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft by the Anaheim Ducks, Jake Gardiner was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Francois Beauchemin deal.
