The Toronto Maple Leafs will have Jack Campbell between the pipes for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Campbell has been out since March 8 with a rib injury that he initially suffered against the Columbus Blue Jackets and tried to play through. The 30-year-old was lights out early in the season to earn the first all-star nod of his career, but has an .872 save percentage since Jan. 8.
The news of Campbell's return couldn't have come at a better time for the Leafs, who lost Petr Mrazek for at least six weeks with a groin injury — his third of the season — which he suffered Tuesday in Boston against the Bruins.
Rookie netminder Erik Kallgren stepped up with Campbell and Mrazek sidelined, going 4-2-1 with a 2.71 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage in seven appearances.
Defenceman Jake Muzzin will join the Leafs on their road trip after taking part in practice this week. Keefe said the 33-year-old is nearing a return from his second concussion of the season that he suffered on Feb. 21 against the Montreal Canadiens.
The Leafs start a four-game road trip against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. The trip also includes a back-to-back against the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers.
