Much like the Dallas Stars, the Toronto Maple Leafs are in a bit of trouble when it comes to their goaltending situation due to injuries.
Matt Murray has been on the shelf for a few weeks now with an adductor injury and on Saturday night against the Boston Bruins, Ilya Samsonov suffered a knee injury and was forced to leave the game.
With Erik Kallgren as their only option in net right now, the Maple Leafs have reportedly sign AHL goaltender Keith Petruzzelli to an NHL contract, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
Petruzzelli, 23, signed a two-year contract with the Toronto Marlies this summer and has been off to a solid start to the 2022-23 season. In six games, he's gone 6-0-0 with a 2.31 GAA and a .922 save percentage.
It'll be a quick turn around for the Maple Leafs as they travel to Raleigh to take on the Carolina Hurricanes at 5 p.m. ET on Sunday.
Apparently, TOR has signed G Keith Petruzzelli to an NHL deal. He was on an AHL contract, but will now be promoted w/Samsonov injured tonight. Was 6-0 with Marlies this year— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) November 6, 2022
Will Kyle Dubas be fired after this season?
