The Toronto Maple Leafs have made some big additions this past summer, and now, after a recent injury scare, one of their key acquisitions has returned to the ice.
While he's unlikely to return to the lineup for Friday's pre-season game, this is a major boost for the regular season opener, as Klingberg is expected to play a major role for Toronto in 2023-24 on their second pairing.
The 31-year old had a down year in 2022-23 with Anaheim and Minnesota, tallying just 33 points after a monster season the year before, and if healthy, Toronto are expecting to get the Stars version of Klingberg, which could be a major difference maker on the blue line.
