Overview

• General manager Brad Treliving said Woll is away for a private family matter, asked for privacy, and specified the situation is not substance‑abuse related.
• There is no timeline for a return, leaving his availability for the Oct. 8 opener uncertain after he had already been out since Sept. 20 with an illness.
• Anthony Stolarz is expected to shoulder the starts, with Dennis Hildeby and AHL call‑up Artur Akhtyamov positioned as internal depth.
• Treliving has not ruled out adding a goaltender, and reporting indicates waivers or a low‑cost trade could be explored if the absence persists.
• Woll’s 2024–25 numbers (27‑14‑1, .909 save percentage, 2.73 goals‑against average) highlight the hockey impact as coach Craig Berube and teammates voiced support.
