Kallgren made 24 saves in a 5-2 win over Boston on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Kallgren was solid against the Bruins, but it's likely his last outing this season unless the Leafs and Jack Campbell get into deep trouble in the postseason. Planning ahead, fantasy managers who choose to draft him for 2022-23 should pay very close attention to his home-road splits. Unless things change, Kallgren is really just a viable home play - he plays sieve on the road far too often.

Kallgren will guard the home goal during Friday's regular-season finale against the Bruins, NHL.com's Dave McCarthy reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kallgren was solid in his last start Sunday against the Capitals, turning aside 34 of 37 shots en route to a 4-3 victory. He'll try to secure his eighth win of the season in a home matchup with a Boston team that's 25-12-3 on the road this year.

Kallgren stopped 34 of 37 shots in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Kallgren had a forgettable first few minutes of the third period, allowing a pair of Capitals goals and also tripping Alex Ovechkin with a poke check attempt on a breakaway, leading to the Russian superstar exiting the game after colliding hard with the boards. Toronto erased the 3-1 deficit created by Washington's two-goal burst, and Kallgren stood tall in a seven-round shootout, stopping the final six attempts. With the win, Kallgren improved to 7-4-1 on the season.

Kallgren will guard the cage in Washington on Sunday, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kallgren is coming off the worst outing of his young NHL career, coughing up eight goals on 36 shots in Thursday's loss to Tampa Bay. He's allowed 16 goals on just 92 shots over his last three appearances, lowering his season save percentage to .882 through 12 games. The 25-year-old rookie is sporting an unsightly 4.76 GAA on the road this season.

Kallgren allowed eight goals on 36 shots in Thursday's 8-1 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Kallgren's struggles continued against the Lightning, allowing four goals in both the second and third periods en route to a blowout loss. In his last five starts, the rookie netminder sports an ugly 4.52 GAA with a .851 save percentage. Despite his poor play of late, Kallgren should continue to backup Jack Campbell while Petr Mrazek (groin) remains on the IR.

Kallgren will start in Tampa Bay on Thurday, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kallgren will make his 12th appearance in his rookie season and look to build on a lackluster 3.02 GAA and .895 save percentage. He'll look for win No. 7 against a dangerous Lightning club that's rattled off 20 goals over the last five games.

Kallgren made 25 saves in a 5-4 overtime win over the Senators on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Kallgren had no chance on the first goal, which was a one-timer on a 2-on-0 in the first. The second came off a rebound that hit his own defender and went in. The third goal was an impossible one, too -- Kallgren had the point shot lined up and a perfect tip in front had him still aligned left when the puck went right. Ottawa went up 4-3 in the third when Ilya Lyubushkin coughed up the puck to Tim Stutzle, who quickly scored with a snap shot. Thankfully, the Leafs have the firepower to outscore most opponents and they changed Kallgren's luck with a win in OT. The big Swede is now 6-3-1 with a 3.02 GAA and .895 save percentage.

Kallgren will defend the blue paint during Saturday's road game versus the Senators, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kallgren wasn't great in his last start Tuesday against the Sabres, surrendering four goals on 27 shots en route to a 5-2 defeat. He'll try to shake off that lousy performance and return to the win column in a favorable road matchup with an Ottawa team that's only averaging 2.59 goals per game at home this campaign, 28th in the NHL.

Kallgren made 23 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Sabres on Tuesday. He allowed four goals.
EDGE Analysis
Kallgren had to backstop a squad that just didn't play well Tuesday. They came out flat and lifeless, and the netminder had little support. Kyle Okposo put the Sabres up 1-0 on a power play when he fired a beautiful shot from the right hashmarks at 7:25 of the first. Tage Thompson scored another power-play goal from the slot at 9:11 of the second period and Jeff Skinner wired a shot from the slot at 4:09 of the third that got past Kallgren. Rasmus Dahlin poured fuel on the fire just 1:34 later with a nice shot from just above the bottom of the right circle.

Kallgren will tend the twine versus Buffalo at home Tuesday, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kallgren will take Tuesday's game in order to give starter Jack Campbell some extra rest. In his nine outings, the 25-year-old netminder is 5-2-1 with a 2.78 GAA and one shutout. With an upcoming back-to-back as well, Kallgren will likely be in the crease versus the Senators or Islanders on Saturday or Sunday, respectively.
