Erik Källgren's NHL & AHL Journey

0:00On April 22nd, Eric Kelberin, that Swedish goalie who popped up for the Toronto Maple Leafs a couple years back, had a solid but short NHL run, he debuted in March 2022 with a 35 save shutout against Dallas stepping in when injuries hit the crease. Over two seasons, he played 24 games, going 11 wins, 6 losses and 5 ties with a 0.892 save percentage and 3. 0.04 goals against average, serviceable depth work on a contender. The Leafs net was a revolving door back then. Jack Campbell owned it first with 31 wins, then Ilya Samsonov took over in 2022, 23 for 27 victories. Matt Murray came in as a cup winner, but got sidelined by injuries while Joseph Wohl started shining in limited spots. Kelberin was the reliable back up, holding the fort without stealing the show. Fans remember him as that surprise guy who didn't fold under pressure, giving the team a fighting chance in playoffs pushes.

After Toronto, he signed with the New Jersey Devils organization in 2023, spending a year with their AHL squad in Utica. Bouncing around a bit, he headed home to Sweden by 2024, joining Brianus EF for steadier minutes. Last season, he posted a 2.60 goals against an 0.890 save percentage over 15 games, even seeing playoff time. At 29, Kelberin's carved a respectable path.
