Kallgren entered Saturday's 2-1 win over Boston in relief of starter Ilya Samsonov (knee) to start the third period. He stopped all seven shots he faced.
EDGE Analysis
Kallgren was already slated to start Sunday, but could be in line for a lot more if Samsonov is out for long. Matt Murray (groin) is skating, but is not close to a return. Kallgren has not won yet this season (0-1-2), but did go 8-4-1 last season when pressed into a starting role under similar circumstances following injuries to both Jack Campbell and Petr Mrazek.

Kallgren will be in the road crease against Carolina on Sunday, according to Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun.
EDGE Analysis
Kallgren is 0-1-2 this season, having given up 11 goals on only 88 shots. Kallgren will have a tough battle as he faces the Hurricanes, who have a 7-2-1 mark, averaging 3.30 goals per game this season.

Kallgren surrendered four goals on 39 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss to Anaheim on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
It's never a great game when the goaltender allows four goals, but the Leafs didn't make Kallgren's job as easy as they could have. Notably, turnovers from Mitch Marner proved costly. That said, Kallgren now owns a 0-1-2 record, 3.62 GAA, and .875 save percentage in three games this season. Matt Murray (groin) is still likely at least two weeks away from returning based on his original timetable, but once he's back, Kallgren is expected to be returned to the AHL.

Kallgren will be between the pipes Sunday on the road against Anaheim, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kallgren will get the second half of a back-to-back situation for the Maple Leafs after Ilya Samsonov played in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Los Angeles. The former is coming off a 27-save effort in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to San Jose. The loss dropped Kallgren's record to 0-1-1 on the year. He will face a Ducks team that has one win through eight games (1-6-1) this season.

Kallgren allowed four goals on 31 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Kallgren was steady enough to get the game to overtime as the Maple Leafs pulled even. He couldn't stop Erik Karlsson 57 seconds into the extra session. Kallgren has allowed seven goals on 49 shots in two appearances, and he's faced two lower-tier teams in the Sharks and the Coyotes. Those aren't encouraging results for the 26-year-old, but he should maintain the backup job at least until Matt Murray (groin) is ready to return.

Kallgren will start Thursday's road matchup against San Jose, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kallgren will get his second start of the season. He surrendered three goals on 18 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Coyotes on Oct. 17 during his season debut. San Jose has two wins through nine games this season.

Kallgren stopped 15 of 18 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Arizona's final tally was scored into an empty net. Kallgren wasn't very busy in his season debut but also didn't have much chance on any of the pucks that beat him, as two came on Coyotes power plays and the third was the result of sloppy defensive play by the Leafs behind their own net. The 26-year-old will back up Ilya Samsonov for at least the next month or so while Matt Murray (groin) is out of action.

Kallgren is expected to start Monday versus Arizona, per Mark Masters of TSN.ca.
EDGE Analysis
Kallgren was the first goaltender off the ice following the morning skate, which is usually a good indicator of who the starter will be. If that proves to be the case, then this will be his first start with the Maple Leafs this season. He's up with the Maple Leafs because Matt Murray is out for at least four weeks with an adductor injury. The Coyotes are a rebuilding squad, so this is a good opportunity for Kallgren to pick up a win.

Kallgren has been called up from AHL Toronto on Saturday, according to TSN's Chris Johnston.
EDGE Analysis
Kallgren played Friday for the AHL's Marlies and gave up two goals on 18 shots before leaving midway through the second period with an injury. He was cleared to play Saturday and will be the backup for Ilya Samsonov with Matt Murray (groin) unavailable as the Maple Leafs take on Ottawa.

Kallgren stopped all 10 shots he faced in relief of Jack Campbell in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Lightning in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Kallgren made his postseason debut a little before the midway mark of the second period. With the Lightning leading 5-0 at the time, they didn't pressure Kallgren much, allowing him to have a solid relief appearance. The 25-year-old probably won't see much additional playing time -- Campbell is the Maple Leafs' top goalie by a noticeable margin despite two poor outings through four playoff games.
