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.
