Joseph Woll News

Woll was projected to be the opening night starter for the Maple Leafs but suffered a last-minute lower-body ailment that resulted in Anthony Stolarz taking over the crease. That said, Stolarz has been terrific this season filling in, posting a 1.70 GAA and .940 SV% in three games (2-1-0), which could pose an obstacle for Woll's playing time when he returns to the lineup. In 25 games played in 2023-24, Woll had a 12-11-1 record with a 2.94 GAA and .907 SV%.

Toronto will be without goaltender Joseph Woll until at least October 16th due to a lower-body injury after he was placed on the injured reserve earlier Wednesday.

Originally expected to start the season opener for the Maple Leafs, Woll will not play on Wednesday night due to a lower-body issue. Anthony Stolarz will make his Maple Leafs debut in the crease and will likely be backed up by Dennis Hildeby, who was recalled on an emergency basis from the Toronto Marlies (AHL) earlier today. The 26-year-old Woll battled injuries last season and was limited to only 25 appearances (12-11-1), posting a 2.94 GAA and .907 SV%.

The 25-year-old netminder took a large step forward in 2023-24 despite battling injuries throughout the season, with his 12-11-1 record, 2.94 GAA and .907 SV% in 25 games played.

Woll took over Toronto's crease for Game 5 and was sensational, stopping 27 of 28 shots against (.964 SV%) in a 2-1 overtime victory and will start again in Game 6 in Toronto. The 25-year-old enjoyed an up-and-down injury-filled season, with his 12-11-1 record, 2.94 GAA and .907 SV%. He will look to keep Toronto's season alive on Thursday, as they host their rival the Boston Bruins.

In a must-win game, the Maple Leafs will turn to Woll in Game 5 for his first start of the series. Woll made his first appearance in game four, saving all five shots he faced in relief of Ilya Samsonov in a 3-1 loss to the Boston Bruins. The 25-year-old netminder had a 2.94 GAA and .907 SV% in 25 games (12-11-1) this season. The Maple Leafs enter action on Tuesday as +144 road underdogs.

Despite Ilya Samsonov announcing he feels healthy to return on Thursday, Joseph Woll will get his third straight start on Thursday as he attempts to put an end to a two-game losing streak. The 25-year-old has enjoyed an up-and-down season filled with injuries but still has a respectable 10-9-1 record, 2.96 GAA and .908 SV% this season. He will take on the surging Washington Capitals at home, who find themselves in the final wildcard playoff spot after winning six of their last seven games.

With Ilya Samsonov sidelined with an undisclosed injury, the Maple Leafs will turn to Woll for the second straight contest. Woll was tremendous in a losing effort in his last outing, saving 41 of 43 shots (.953 SV%) in a 2-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. The Maple Leafs have lost three of their last five (2-2-1) and enter action as -140 home favourites against the New Jersey Devils.

Woll has only played twice in March, allowing four goals in each contest, most recently on March 7th, and will return to the crease on Wednesday. The 25-year-old Woll has struggled to regain his form since returning from a long-term injury, posting a .881 SV% in three games (1-2-0). That said, the Maple Leafs, losers of two straight (0-1-1), are -133 road favourites against a Washington Capitals club that has scored two or fewer goals in four of their last five (3-2-0).

Martin Jones will get a break from sitting in the press box as he is set to take over the backup duties from Woll on Tuesday night. It's unknown whether Woll is simply a healthy scratch or dealing with an undisclosed injury at this time.

Woll will get the nod for the tail-end of Toronto's back-to-back on Thursday after Ilya Samsonov got the nod in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime victory over the Sabres. It's the second time in as many games that Woll will face the Bruins. He surrendered four goals on 27 shots in a 4-1 loss to Boston on Monday. It was just his second start since returning from the ankle injury he suffered in early December. Woll and the Maple Leafs are +125 underdogs heading into Boston on Thursday.
