Grebenkin was reassigned to AHL Toronto on Saturday.
The Maple Leafs activated Bobby McMann off injured reserve earlier in the day, leaving Grebenkin as the odd-man out. Grebenkin is without a point in seven NHL games this season, but he has excelled at the AHL level with four goals and 10 points in 13 contests.

Grebenkin was recalled from AHL Toronto on Thursday.
Grebenkin was sent down to the minors Monday to facilitate Max Domi's return to the lineup from a lower-body injury. Grebenkin is without a point in seven NHL games this season. He had four goals and 10 points in 13 AHL games before his recall. The Maple Leafs demoted Marshall Rifai to the Marlies in a corresponding move.

Maple Leafs' Nikita Grebenkin: Sent to minors
Rotowire
Grebenkin was assigned to AHL Toronto on Tuesday, according to the NHL media site.
Grebenkin was sent down in order to make room on the roster for Max Domi, who was activated off injured reserve in a corresponding move. Grebenkin was held without a point over seven contests with the Maple Leafs, but more consistent playing time with the Marlies should be beneficial to his development in his first season on North American ice.

Maple Leafs' Nikita Grebenkin: Called up from minors
Rotowire
Grebenkin was promoted from AHL Toronto on Wednesday.
The decision to bring up Grebenkin comes as the Leafs placed Max Domi (lower body) on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Assuming the 21-year-old Grebenkin gets into the lineup against Vegas on Wednesday -- which seems like a safe bet considering the team doesn't have any extra forwards available -- it would mark his NHL debut. With the Marlies this season, the Russian winger has been rolling offensively with four goals and six assists through 13 minor-league games.
