Kallgren, who has taken over starting duties with Matt Murray and Ilya Samsonov on the injured reserve, stopped 19 of 22 shots during Friday’s 4-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The 26-year-old Swede has a 1-2-3 record with a 3.00 goals-against average and .886 save percentage in seven games this season.

Toronto signed Keith Petruzzelli to a two-year, entry-level deal this past Sunday after Samsonov went down with a knee injury the day before. Samsonov is expected to be out week-to-week.

Petruzzelli, who has yet to make his NHL debut, has a 6-0-0 record, 2.31 GAA and .922 save percentage with the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League this year.

Murray, who was placed on long-term injured reserve back on Oct. 16 with an adductor injury, has resumed practising with the Maple Leafs, but head coach Sheldon Keefe ruled out an early return Friday.

The 28-year-old Murray, who was acquired from the Ottawa Senators in the off-season, allowed four goals on 23 shots during his lone start before landing on the LTIR.
