David Kampf to replace Calle Jarnkrok in Maple Leafs’ lineup against Rangers

The Toronto Maple Leafs are shuffling up their bottom six.

David Kampf will enter the lineup in place of Calle Jarnkrok against the New York Rangers on Thursday, head coach Craig Berube said.

Kampf, 30, has not played since last Thursday, having been relegated to the press box with the Maple Leafs forward group mostly healthy and more crowded since trade for Scott Laughton from the Philadelphia Flyers.

The Czechia native, a fourth-liner known for his penalty killing, has four goals and six assists in 52 appearances this season.

Jarnkrok, 33, played his first game of the season on March 3 following a lengthy recovery from sports hernia surgery.

The Swede has recorded one goal and two assists in seven games since his return.
