The Maple Leafs’ goaltending depth took another hit on Tuesday when head coach Sheldon Keefe announced backup netminder Jack Campbell suffered a leg injury in Sunday’s 3-2 win over Calgary that will sideline him for “weeks.”
That pushes journeyman Michael Hutchinson into the spot behind starter Frederik Andersen for the foreseeable future. Rookie Joseph Woll is headed to meet the Leafs out west and join their taxi squad after a quarantine period.
Toronto lost former third goalie Aaron Dell on waivers to New Jersey last Monday, a move they felt compelled to make because of salary cap implications. Dell would have been the projected backup in Campbell’s absence if he were still around, but the Leafs will simply have to make do now with what they have.
