UPDATE - The Toronto Maple Leafs announced that Frederik Andersen is day-to-day with a knee injury and announced that the clubs recalled goaltender Eamon McAdam from the Newfoundland Growlers on an emergency basis.

The injury to Marlies goaltender Kasimir Kaskisuo on Sunday left the club with only veteran Jeff Glass on their roster and he is on an AHL contract and would have to be signed to an NHL deal to play for the Leafs.

McAdam, 24, was acquired from the New York Islanders in July for Matt Martin and has spent his entire professional career in the AHL and ECHL.

******* The Toronto Maple Leafs return home after sweeping a four-game road trip to take on the Los Angeles Kings at Scotiabank Arena on Monday, hoping to limit their oppositions chances while continuing their success putting the puck in the net. The Leafs went 4-0 against Chicago, Dallas, Detroit and Washington and lead the NHL with 10 points (5-1-0 record) and goals scored (29), but are near the bottom of the league in goals allowed. The Kings are 2-2-1 after a 5-1 loss to Ottawa on Saturday and with goalie Jonathan Quick out injured, former Dallas Stars first round pick Jack Campbell will get the start. The Leafs will go with the same lines and defensive pairings that played on Saturday. Andreas Johnsson will remain in the lineup on a fourth line unit with Josh Leivo and Frederik Gauthier, while Igor Ozhiganov skates with defense partner Travis Dermott on the bottom pairing after his best performance of the year. Garret Sparks will be between the pipes for Toronto, as he becomes the first backup since Frederik Andersen was acquired to play in a non back-to-back game when the Leafs starter was not injured.
