The New Jersey Devils placed goaltender Erik Kallgren on waivers Tuesday afternoon. The Devils goaltender will need to go unclaimed to head to the AHL Utica Comets.
In this edition of Toronto Maple Leafs News & Rumors, I’ll take a look at where ex-Maple Leafs’ goalie Erik Kallgren landed this summer. For the past couple of seasons, he was always the go-to goalie when every other Toronto goalie was injured.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have made a roster move ahead of their second-round playoff series against the Florida Panthers, as they have loaned goaltender Erik Källgren to the AHL’s Toronto Marlies.
As the playoffs begin, every team in the league has added a third goaltender to serve as an emergency backup. In Toronto, things are no different, as Erik Kallgren has been brought up from the minor leagues. But Kallgren's recall gives us insight into another goaltender's situation as well.
The Marlies made the most of their weekend down south. After returning from the All-Star break, Toronto travelled to North Carolina to play a back-to-back against the Charlotte Checkers on Friday and Saturday.
The Toronto Marlies have finally lost a game after winning eight-straight to begin 2023. The start of this week saw the Marlies catch a flight from Montreal to Vancouver to begin their Western Canada road trip.
There was suspicion that Murray had some type of injury after he didn’t start on Friday night against the Ottawa Senators when he was scheduled to. It’s unclear when it occurred, but Ilya Samsonov ended up starting the game for the Maple Leafs. Toronto would go on to lose that game 6-2, with Samsonov allowing six goals on 34 shots.
What was once thought to be a Toronto Maple Leafs’ wasteland – their goalie depth – has suddenly been shown to be a strength of the organization. It started this offseason with the pickup of two goalies that many Maple Leafs’ fans thought were on the NHL goalie scrap heap.
Erik Kallgren is paying tribute to Toronto Maple Leafs legend Borje Salming with a new goalie mask design. The Toronto Marlies unveiled the look on their Twitter account before the goaltender’s scheduled start on Saturday afternoon against the Syracuse Crunch.
Here we are – 24 games into the season, just past the quarter mark of what has been an exceptionally up-and-down season. The quarter mark, in my mind, is where statistics and performances start becoming meaningful.
So far, the Toronto Maple Leafs’ current road trip has been a huge success. Last night, the team went to Pittsburgh and beat a Penguins team that had won five straight games.
The Toronto Maple Leafs went into Minnesota and beat the Wild by a score of 4-3 yesterday. While that is great news, the team’s work is not over for the weekend.
In this edition of Toronto Maple Leafs News & Rumors, I share news about the upcoming game tonight against the New York Islanders. The Islanders are on their last game of a four-game road trip.
In this edition of Toronto Maple Leafs’ takeaways, I’ll take a look at three key takeaways from the game. Similar to last night, the game was almost secondary to the tribute to Borje Salming, who’s suffering from ALS.
In this edition of Toronto Maple Leafs’ Quick Hits, I’ll share news about goalie Erik Kallgren. As well, I’ll report that Calle Jarnkrok is back practicing with the team.
I suppose a regular season never goes the way you think it will go, especially if you are the Toronto Maple Leafs or a fan of the team. Last night was a particularly frustrating night to watch the team play.
The Toronto Maple Leafs continue to trim down their roster ahead of their regular season opener against the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday. Forwards Nick Abruzzese, Alex Steeves and goaltender Erik Kallgren are among Leafs prospects with NHL experience that were assigned to the Toronto Marlies on Saturday.
An area of concern for the Leafs to take care of this summer will almost certainly be the goaltending. By most accounts, Jack Campbell appears to have
Erik Kallgren is now 11 games into his NHL career and to say it has been quite the adventure would be putting it mildly. When he was called upon to make his NHL debut against the Coyotes on March 10th with his team down big, few could have envisioned the positive impact he would bring to a team that was desperate for some stability in the crease.
Imagine being 25 years old, with only 31 games of minor-pro experience in North America, and suddenly you’re the starting goaltender for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
It wasn’t just about how Swedish rookie goaltender Erik Kallgren played in his first NHL start but also how his team performed in front of them. “I think they played great,” he said.
Kallgren will be called upon to stop the figurative bleeding for a Toronto side that has dropped two in a row and four of its last six games.
The Toronto Maple Leafs will start their fifth different goaltender this season when they host the Dallas Stars on Tuesday. Erik Kallgren will make his first NHL start after he made his first appearance in relief last week.
With Campbell out, the focus will turn to Petr Mrazek, the inconsistent netminder that Toronto signed to a three-year contract in the offseason.
It’s no secret that when it comes to evaluating talent, goaltending is the hardest position to predict. It’s why you rarely see more than one or two goalies get drafted in the first round, and very rarely in the top ten.
According to NHL.com, the Toronto Maple Leafs today signed young goalie Erik Kallgren to a two-year, two-way contract. The contract, whenever he plays in the NHL, is worth an AAV of $750,000 USD.
