Klingberg picked up a pair of assists in Wednesday's 6-5 shootout win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Skating alongside Jake McCabe on Toronto's second pairing, Klingberg set up Noah Gregor's tally in the second period before setting up William Nylander on the power play later in the frame. The 31-year-old defenseman posted 33 points (10 goals, 23 assists) in 67 games between Anaheim and Minnesota last season. So long as he continues to see time on the Maple Leafs' top power-play unit, Klingberg could provide steady offensive production this year.

EDGE Analysis

Klingberg was injured Sept. 27, but he won't end up missing a regular-season contest due to the issue. He's projected to serve on the second pairing with Jake McCabe and see time on the top power-play unit. Klingberg had 10 goals and 33 points in 67 games between Anaheim and Minnesota last year.

Klingberg (upper body) took part in Thursday's optional morning skate, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Masters, Klingberg, who was injured Sept. 27, hopes to play in Saturday's preseason finale against Detroit. If he sits out that contest, the 31-year-old defender should be ready for Opening Night on Wednesday versus Montreal. Klingberg is expected to quarterback the first power-play unit with the Maple Leafs this season and should get 45-50 points if he can remain healthy.

Klingberg left Wednesday's preseason game versus the Sabres after something tightened up during the first period, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.

EDGE Analysis

Klingberg's exit sounds precautionary for now, though the 31-year-old defenseman will be evaluated further Thursday. Klingberg is expected to be the Maple Leafs' quarterback on the first power-play unit as well as a top-four option this season. Given his importance to the team's offense, it's understandable that they'll be cautious with him during the preseason slate.

Klingberg is practicing on the Leafs top power-play unit, replacing Morgan Rielly, reports The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

There's no guarantee Klingberg will stick in this role, but he does add a different dimension to PP1 than the incumbent. First off, Klingberg is a right shot, plus he's unafraid to fire the puck. And it's the threat of that shot that keeps opposing PKs on edge. Klingberg delivered 148 power-play points over his first eight NHL seasons, which were 11th most at his position over that span. His 65 primary assists ranked 10th in the same period. The Leafs top unit includes Mitchell Marner, Auston Matthews, William Nylander and John Tavares.

Klingberg signed a one-year, $4.15 million contract with the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Chris Johnston of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Klingberg will bring the Maple Leafs some much needed offense from the blue line. The talented blueliner had 10 goals and 23 assists in 67 games split between Anaheim and Minnesota last season, including two goals and 10 points on the power play. Klingberg's offensive numbers should improve with the Maple Leafs given Toronto's talent up front.

EDGE Analysis

Klingberg got Minnesota on the board in the third period, beating Jake Oettinger with a wrist shot after corralling a deflected puck. Klingberg would add a second point later in the frame with an assist on Frederick Gaudreau's tally. The 30-year-old defenseman has four points (a goal and three assists) through two postseason games against his former team after missing the first two games of the series with a lower-body injury. Klingberg tallied 10 goals and 33 points in 67 regular-season games between Minnesota and Anaheim.

Klingberg (lower body) registered two assists in a 5-1 victory over Dallas in Game 3 on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Klingberg missed the first two contests of the playoff series due to the injury, but he made his presence felt Friday. In addition to providing two helpers, the defenseman also had a plus-3 rating, two shots and a hit in 16:38 of ice time. Klingberg, who had 10 goals and 33 points in 2022-23, averaged 20:37 over 67 regular-season outings, so he did play a diminished role in his return. However, the 30-year-old might see his playing time increase as the playoffs progress.

EDGE Analysis
