Leafs announce an injury to Jack Campbell, call up a goaltender from the AHL on an emergency basis
More trouble between the pipes in Toronto as the Leafs announced on Thursday morning that goaltender Jack Campbell has sustained a rib injury and will be out of the lineup for at least the next two weeks.
Things have gone from bad to worse for Campbell, who, after starting out gangbusters at the beginning of this season, has fallen off considerably, posting one of the league's worst save percentages since early December.
The timing is very poor for both Campbell and the Leafs, who are doing everything they can to iron out the kinks and get back on track with the goal of winning the Atlantic Division, ensuring home ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
As a result of Campbell's injury, the Leafs also announced that they had called up goaltender Erik Kallgren from the AHL's Toronto Marlies on an emergency basis.
Kallgren has appeared in 26 games for the Marlies this season, compiling a 15-8-1 record, with a 3.02 GAA and a .904 SV%.
Petr Mrazek will start tonight against the Arizona Coyotes.
