Leafs Send Groulx Back to Marlies

The Maple Leafs reassign Benoit-Olier Groulx to the AHL's Toronto Marlies after a brief stint with the big club, continuing the yo-yo between NHL dreams and minor-league grind for the 26-year-old center. Groulx, who lit up the Marlies with 27 goals and 50 points in 54 games, earned a recall earlier this season but now returns to the farm where he's been a scoring machine and two-way force.
