Woll Leaves With Lower-Body Injury as Maple Leafs Return Home on Three-Game Streak

Anthony Stolarz remains out, leaving Dennis Hildeby to open in goal for a five-game homestand.

Overview

  • Joseph Woll exited before the third period of Toronto’s 5-1 win in Carolina with a lower-body injury, capping a 4-2-0 road trip and a three-game winning run.
  • Head coach Craig Berube provided no timeline, saying only "We’ll see tomorrow" and that he does not know the severity.
  • Dennis Hildeby stopped all nine shots in relief and is expected to start Saturday against the Canadiens.
  • Anthony Stolarz has not skated since sustaining an upper-body injury on Nov. 11, leaving Toronto thin behind Hildeby.
  • Woll had been stellar since returning in mid-November, and some analysts have questioned his heavy recent workload; if needed, the next options are Artur Akhtyamov or Vyacheslav Peksa.
