Head coach Sheldon Keefe confirmed that veteran blueliner John Klingberg will make his Leafs' debut against the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday night when they open their season.The 31-year-native of Sweden signed a one-year, $4.15 million contract with the Leafs this off-season.
Klingberg scored 10 goals and 23 assists over 67 games split between the Anaheim Ducks and Minnesota Wild in 2022-23. For his career, Klingberg has 81 goals and 326 assists over 619 games spent with the Dallas Stars, Ducks and Wild. Defenceman Justin Barron and forward Michael Pezzetta hit the ice for the Habs' optional skate on Wednesday ahead of their season-opening clash against the Maple Leafs, indicating they would be scratched for the game.
Justin Barron and Michael Pezzetta are the only Canadiens skaters on the ice this morning, which would suggest they will be scratched tonight as expected. Sam Montembeault and Cayden Primeau also getting some work in.will go with 11 forwards and six defencemen on a 19-man roster tonight in Raleigh. I am led to believe if Norris can't play Saturday this would allow them to make an emergency recall.
