John Klingberg Returns to Full Practice Today with the Leafs
After sustaining an upper-body injury earlier in training camp, Leaf's defenseman John Klingberg has made his return to full practice today. His return comes one day before the last pre-season game of camp, which he hopes to play in.

Klingberg Expected to Pair up With Defenseman Jake McCabe
Klingberg was one of the Leafs' more interesting signings this offseason that went under the radar after Treliving brought on the big names like Reaves and Domi.
It's expected that Klingberg will be paired with Jake McCabe in the second slot behind Reilly and Brodie. The Leafs are hopeful that this duo can provide them with some shutdown physical play to bolster their defence.
