Kallgren was stout in the crease against a formidable Penguins club, posting a .962 save percentage and looking every bit the goaltender that surprised many in 2021-22 in Toronto. The 26-year-old will look to use Saturday night as a confidence boost, struggling as the backup behind current No. 1 goaltender Matt Murray, posting an .898 save percentage and 2.67 GAA in 10 games (3-2-4) so far this season.

With Matt Murray on injured reserve, Kallgren will get some reps as Ilya Samsonov's backup for the next few weeks. He made 14 appearances with the team last season, posting a 3.31 GAA and .888 Sv%. He's made one start for the Maple Leafs this season, yielding three goals on just 18 shots in a losing effort against the Coyotes on Oct. 17.
