Leafs’ Campbell sidelined at least 2 weeks with rib injury

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Jack Campbell will miss a minimum of two weeks due to a rib injury, the team announced Thursday.

Petr Mrazek will assume the starting role in Campbell's absence. Additionally, the Leafs recalled Erik Kallgren from the AHL's Toronto Marlies.

Campbell was in goal for Tuesday's win over the Seattle Kraken. It's unclear when he suffered the injury, but Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly said the goaltender told him he's been dealing with the ailment for a while, according to Josh Clipperton of The Canadian Press.

Campbell earned an All-Star nomination for his first-half performance but has struggled of late. Since the calendar flipped to 2022, he's posted a meager .882 save percentage in 17 appearances.

Mrazek owns a .890 clip and a 3.28 goals-against average for the season.

Toronto has six games on its schedule over the next two weeks, beginning Thursday against the Arizona Coyotes.
