Kallgren will defend the cage against Carolina at home Thursday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kallgren stopped all 35 shots he faced in his first NHL start against the Stars on Wednesday and will be rewarded with another opportunity Thursday. If the 25-year-old netminder continues to perform near this level, he may force the Leafs into some difficult decisions once Jack Campbell (ribs) is cleared to play. Still, Kallgren shouldn't be expected to see too many starts once Campbell is back, making him a temporary fantasy target.
