Maple Leafs Goalie Anthony Stolarz Out 4-6 Weeks Following Knee Surgery
The 30-year-old netminder, leading the NHL in save percentage, will undergo a procedure to address a loose body in his knee.
- Anthony Stolarz, Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender, is sidelined for 4-6 weeks due to knee surgery to remove a loose body causing discomfort.
- An MRI confirmed no structural damage but revealed a small piece of bone or cartilage obstructing full knee motion, described as a 'pebble' by GM Brad Treliving.
- Stolarz has been a standout performer this season, leading the NHL in save percentage (.927) and posting a 9-5-2 record in 17 starts.
- The Maple Leafs will rely on Joseph Woll and Dennis Hildeby in Stolarz's absence, with Woll showing solid numbers this season as a backup.
- Stolarz signed a two-year, $5-million contract with Toronto after winning the Stanley Cup as a backup with the Florida Panthers last season.
