Analysis:

Kaleta had almost every bone broken in one side of his face when he got hit with a slapshot in late September. The fourth-liner is in the last year of his contract, but the general manager and coach who gave up on him last year are gone, so there has to be some pressure on him to get back and perform well for the new staff.
