Maple Leafs Goalie Joseph Woll Sidelined with High Ankle Sprain

Backup Goalies Ilya Samsonov and Martin Jones to Step Up Amid Tight Game Schedule

Overview

  • Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Joseph Woll is week to week with a high ankle sprain, leaving the team's netminding duties to Ilya Samsonov and Martin Jones.
  • Woll was having a remarkable rookie season, posting a .916 save percentage that was among the league’s best.
  • Samsonov, who started the season as the Leafs’ No. 1 goalie, has a 4-1-3 record in 2023-24 but has struggled with consistency.
  • Martin Jones, a veteran goalie, will also be relied upon in Woll's absence.
  • The Leafs are facing a compressed schedule with eight games in 15 days, during which both Samsonov and Jones will see action.
