Callighen remained with the team when they migrated to the National Hockey League, but that debut season was cut short when he was clipped in his eye by a hockey stick from Boston's Brad McCrimmon. It ended his season, which was going well as he was averaging a point per game, and he returned the year after playing in 55 Games and scoring 60 Points. He managed another 46 Games in the 1981-82 season, but the eye injury rendered him legally blind, and he was forced to retire early.
Callighen scored 290 Points with a Point per Game Average of .85.
