Signs with Maple Leafs Klingberg signed a one-year, $4.15 million contract with the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Chris Johnston of TSN reports.
Impact Klingberg will bring the Maple Leafs some much needed offense from the blueline. The talented blueliner had 10 goals and 23 assists in 67 games split between Anaheim and Minnesota last season, including two goals and 10 points on the power play. Klingberg's offensive numbers should vastly improve with the Maple Leafs.

Two points in Game 4 Klingberg tallied a goal and an assist in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.
Impact Klingberg got Minnesota on the board in the third period, beating Jake Oettinger with a wrist shot after corralling a deflected puck. Klingberg would add a second point later in the frame with an assist on Frederick Gaudreau's tally. The 30-year-old defenseman has four points (a goal and three assists) through two postseason games against his former team after missing the first two games of the series with a lower-body injury. Klingberg tallied 10 goals and 33 points in 67 regular-season games between Minnesota and Anaheim.

Notches two helpers in return Klingberg (lower body) registered two assists in a 5-1 victory over Dallas in Game 3 on Friday.
Impact Klingberg missed the first two contests of the playoff series due to the injury, but he made his presence felt Friday. In addition to providing two helpers, the defenseman also had a plus-3 rating, two shots and a hit in 16:38 of ice time. Klingberg, who had 10 goals and 33 points in 2022-23, averaged 20:37 over 67 regular-season outings, so he did play a diminished role in his return. However, the 30-year-old might see his playing time increase as the playoffs progress.

Appears ready for action Klingberg (lower body) appears to be on track to draw into the lineup for Friday's Game 3 versus the Stars, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Although Klingberg appears to be trending in the right direction, confirmation on his status for Friday night's contest may not surface until the Wild takes the ice for pregame warmups. If he's able to go, look for Klingberg to draw into a bottom-four role for Game 3.
APRIL 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
In Friday's lineup Klingberg (lower body) is suiting up for Game 3 against Dallas on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Sidelined for Game 2 Klingberg (lower body) isn't expected to play in Wednesday's Game 2 versus the Stars, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Impact With Klingberg set to miss a second straight contest, look for Jon Merrill to remain paired with rookie Brock Faber on Wednesday. Klingberg, who's picked up nine points through 17 games since being traded to the Wild at the deadline, will be reevaluated ahead of Friday's Game 3 against Dallas.

Questionable for Game 1 Klingberg's availability for Game 1 against Dallas on Monday is unclear due to a lower-body injury, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
Impact Klingberg didn't practice Sunday after sustaining the injury during Saturday's session. If he can't play in Minnesota's playoff opener, Jon Merill could be in the lineup. Klingberg recorded 33 points, 112 shots on goal and 84 blocked shots in 67 games during the 2022-23 campaign with the Ducks and Wild.

Garners power-play helper Klingberg notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blues.
Impact Klingberg has a goal and three helpers over his last five games. The 30-year-old defenseman is fitting in well with the Wild, and he now has 32 points over 64 contests between them and the Ducks this season. He's added 108 shots on net, 77 blocked shots and a minus-24 rating.

Golden Knights win 4-3 in SO, but Wild clinch playoffs
Pavel Dorofeyev scored twice in regulation, including the tying goal with 34.2 seconds left to send it to overtime and then had one of Vegas’ three scores in the shootout in the Go...APRIL 4, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Nets 10th marker of 2022-23 Klingberg supplied a power-play goal in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to Vegas.
Impact Klingberg is on a three-game scoring streak with a goal and three points in that span. Through 62 contests this season, he's provided 10 goals and 31 points. Klingberg has reached double digits in goals for the first time since 2018-19, though he's unlikely to match his 2016-17 career high of 13 markers.

Logs helper Saturday Klingberg notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Impact Klingberg has a helper in each of the last two games. He set up Matthew Boldy for the lone tally in Saturday's loss. For the season, Klingberg has 30 points, 100 shots on net, 73 blocked shots, 55 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-24 rating through 61 appearances between the Wild and the Ducks. He's been slightly better with Minnesota, though that's likely a product of a stronger supporting cast than the one he had in Anaheim.

Reaches 20-assist mark Klingberg logged an assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Avalanche.
Impact Klingberg missed the last three games with an upper-body injury, and he'd been held off the scoresheet in the three contests before his absence. The blueliner set up Sam Steel's first-period go-ahead tally. Klingberg has five points through 10 outings with the Wild and 29 points in 60 appearances when accounting for his time with the Ducks to begin the campaign.
