NHL changes rules so that Leafs can call up extra goalie tonight

This just in, the Toronto Maple Leafs have made an emergency recall from the AHL's Toronto Marlies this morning, calling up goaltender Erik Kallgren to serve as the team's 3rd string goalie tonight against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

It's expected that Kallgren will act as the team's 3rd man in goal behind Ilya Samsonov and Joseph Woll for the duration of the playoffs. There's no timeline yet for Matt Murray's return but... even if he were healthy enough to play, would you want him in goal over Samsonov or Woll? Unlikely...

According to TSN insider Chris Johnston, the NHL made a change to their rules, allowing the Leafs to call up Kallgren.

So... while we're making up new rules, can the Bolts get some sort of freebie too?
