John Klingberg News

Klingberg hasn't played since undergoing hip surgery over a year ago after a brief 14-game stint with the Toronto Maple Leafs, where he scored five points (0G / 5A). The 32-year-old Klingberg isn't far removed from being one of the league's elite powerplay quarterbacks. He scored a career-high 67 points (8G / 59A) in 82 games with the Dallas Stars in the 2017-18 season. However, his production has dipped significantly in recent years, tallying only 85 points (16G / 69A) and a -60 plus/minus in his 155 most recent games. Given Evan Bouchard's dominance on Edmonton's top powerplay unit, it's unlikely that Klingberg will find himself in that position. Yet, he could still see an uptick in production considering the star power of his surrounding cast.

Klingberg was signed to a one-year, $4.125 million contract in the offseason but will have his 2023-24 season cut short due to the hip surgery he will undergo at the end of the month. It is disappointing news for the 31-year-old veteran, whose short Maple Leafs tenure may be over after just 14 games played, five assists, 14 SOG, eight PIMs and a -7 plus/minus.

Klingberg has been out for the Maple Leafs' previous two games due to a hip injury and has been placed on the long-term injured reserve Thursday. The 31-year-old signed a one-year, $4,150,000 contract with Toronto in the offseason and had zero goals, five assists, 14 SOG, eight PIMs and a -7 plus/minus in 14 games prior to his injury.

Klingberg will not play on Friday, missing his second of the Maple Leafs' last three games due to an undisclosed injury. The 31-year-old Swede has zero points, nine shots, and a -5 plus/minus rating in his last eight games.

Klingberg, previously believed to be a healthy scratch on Friday, will now be out of the lineup to tend to an undisclosed injury. Despite frequent deployment with the Maple Leafs top powerplay unit, Klingberg has failed to record a point in his last seven games, registering a -6 plus/minus rating.

Klingberg had 10 goals, 23 assists, 112 SOG, 34 PIMs and a -25 plus/minus through 67 games with both Anaheim and Minnesota and has signed a one-year contract with Toronto worth $4.15 million. The 30-year-old defender joins his fourth NHL team bringing with him 81 goals and 407 points across 619 career NHL games.

Klingberg has yet to make an appearance in the playoffs due to an lower-body injury but is expected to draw back into the Wilds' lineup for Game 3 Friday after taking the morning skate. The 30-year-old veteran will make a welcome addition on the Wilds' backend, as he had seven goals, 35 points, 112 SOG, 34 PIMs and a -25 plus/minus through 67 games between Minnesota and Anaheim this season.

Klingberg suffered a lower-body injury during Saturday's practice and was not on the ice for Monday's morning skate. Head coach Dean Evason would not disclose his lineup for Game 1 and Klingberg did not come out for warmups so is considered out.

Klingberg suffered a lower-body injury during Saturday's practice and was not on the ice for Monday's morning skate. Head coach Dean Evason would not disclose his lineup for Game 1, so consider Klingberg a game-time decision.

Klingberg was hurt in Saturday's practice, and his status for Game 1 is uncertain. If Klingberg can't play, Jared Spurgeon will likely take over for him on the Wild's top power-play unit.

Klingberg has missed the Wilds' previous three games due to an upper-body injury and will return to Minnesota's lineup Wednesday vs. Colorado. The 30-year-old had nine goals, 19 assists, 95 SOG, 34 PIMs and a -23 plus/minus through 59 games played between Minnesota and Anaheim.

After signing a one-year contract with the Ducks in the off-season, Klingberg moves on from a disastrous 50-game stint in Anaheim. He scored eight goals and added 16 assists in those 50 games while posting a plus/minus of -28. The 30-year-old will look to regain the form he showed across his eight seasons in Dallas, where he registered 374 points across 552 games.

Klingberg has eight goals, 16 assists, 78 SOG, 30 PIMs and a -28 plus/minus through 50 games this season with Anaheim but will be held out of the lineup Wednesday for trade-related reasons.

Klingberg had two assists and four PIMs in the Ducks' last game Monday vs. Florida but is now a 50/50 game-time decision to play Thursday as he deals with a lower-body injury. The 30-year-old has seven goals, 15 assists, 71 SOG, 30 PIMs and a -29 plus/minus through 48 games prior to the injury.
