Toronto Maple Leafs netminder Erik Kallgren will make his first NHL start Tuesday against the Dallas Stars.
Kallgren made a relief appearance last week against the Arizona Coyotes. He's now being given a chance to take over as Petr Mrazek continues to struggle and Jack Campbell remains sidelined with a rib injury.
Mrazek's made four starts in March and has allowed at least four goals in all of them. He owns a .884 save percentage in 17 appearances this season.
Kallgren, 25, was a seventh-round pick of the Arizona Coyotes in 2015. The Maple Leafs signed him to a two-year, two-way deal last May.
Tuesday's clash is the first of superstar Auston Matthews' two-game suspension. Here's how the Leafs are going to line up without their top player:
