He allowed three goals, two of which were the result of poor team play, not poor goalie play. Woll is the top dog in Toronto, and he's 1-1-0 with a .912 save percentage in two starts since his return from injury. Woll is undeniably the best Leaf on the ice in every contest he's in. He needs someone on his team to score, though.

The Leafs' coach also praised goaltender Dennis Hildeby, who has filled in the past four games after starting the season in the AHL. The 24-year-old holds a .920 SV% and 2.72 GAA and leads the team in goals saved above expected at 7.2, per Money Puck.

With Woll and Stolarz out, and Hildeby forced to start on Saturday, the Maple Leafs recalled Artur Akhtyamov after placing Woll on injured reserve. Berube made clear that Hildeby will carry the load until Woll resumes skating, which is reasonable considering Akhtyamov has yet to make his NHL debut.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have struggled with injuries at the goaltending position, and the team got both good and bad news on Tuesday.

The Leafs' crease took another hit this season when Woll left Thursday's game in Carolina with an injury. Can the team effectively adjust?

Craig Berube said after the morning practice that Toronto expected quicker progress from Stolarz, who has been out since Nov. 11 with an upper-body injury, noting the goaltender will now see another specialist because his recovery has stalled.

Joseph Woll will start in the Toronto net on Tuesday against the Chicago Blackhawks after he missed four games.

The Maple Leafs are getting a positive update about the health of goaltender Joseph Woll. Woll is on injured reserve.

It was Joe Bowen night at Scotiabank arena on Tuesday night, and while things didn’t get off on their good foot for the Toronto Maple Leafs, goaltender Joseph Woll was extremely satisfied seeing his team trust their process in front of him.
