Maple Leafs acquire Campbell, Clifford from Kings

The Toronto Maple Leafs are hoping they've solved their backup goaltending woes.

Toronto acquired goaltender Jack Campbell and forward Kyle Clifford from the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday in exchange for forward Trevor Moore, a third-round pick in 2020, and a conditional third-round selection in 2021, the team announced.

Los Angeles will also retain 50% of Clifford's salary.

The conditional third-round pick can become a second-rounder if Clifford, who's set to hit free agency this summer, re-signs with Toronto or if the Leafs make the playoffs and Campbell wins six regular-season games, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.

Toronto's No. 1, Frederik Andersen, was injured in the first period of Monday's contest versus the Florida Panthers. Backup Michael Hutchinson struggled in relief and also dropped Wednesday's game against the New York Rangers.

On the season, Hutchinson is sporting a less-than-impressive .886 save percentage, 3.66 goals-against average, and 4-9-1 record in 15 games.

With Andersen's status up in the air, head coach Sheldon Keefe isn't sure who will man the crease Friday against the Ducks.

"It's too early to tell," Keefe said after Wednesday's loss, according to TSN's Mark Masters. "I mean, there's a lot going on obviously with Fred and some other things too so we're just going to have to see how things settle down tomorrow and see where we're at."

Campbell, 28, appeared in 20 games with the Kings this season and owns a .900 save percentage, 2.85 goals-against average, and 8-10-2 record. The 11th overall pick in 2010 is signed for the next two campaigns, carrying an average annual value of $1.65M.

Clifford, 29, recorded six goals and 14 points in 53 games with the Kings this year.

Moore, who's missed some time this season due to a concussion, has managed three goals and five points in 26 games with Toronto.
