Anthony Stolarz To Miss 4-6 Weeks Following Knee Surgery
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz (knee) will miss 4-6 weeks of action. He has already been absent for a couple of games after getting hurt in a contest against Anaheim last week. Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving revealed on Tuesday that an MRI showed no structural damage for Stolarz, but he has a "loose body" in his knee, which needs to be removed. Stolarz has landed on the shelf as the NHL's leader in save percentage with .927. He carries a 9-5-2 record with a 2.15 goals-against average and one shutout. We should see a lot of Joseph Woll in the Maple Leafs crease in the next few weeks, with Dennis Hildeby working as his backup.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz (lower body) was placed on Injured Reserve on Sunday. He was hurt in a contest against Anaheim this week and will now be ineligible until Dec. 20. Joseph Woll looks set for a heavy workload during Stolarz's absence in the Maple Leafs crease, with Dennis Hildeby working as his backup. Woll has been a strong fantasy option the entire campaign, posting an 8-4-0 record with the Maple Leafs. He has allowed 2.24 goals with a .918 save percentage and one shutout.
Anthony Stolarz Day-To-Day With A Lower-Body Injury
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz (lower body) has been labeled as day-to-day. The 30-year-old sustained a lower-body injury in Thursday's 3-2 win against Anaheim. Stolarz has been solid for the Maple Leafs this season, going 9-5-2 in 17 starts and allowing 2.15 goals with a .927 save percentage and one shutout. The timing of his injury is bad because the Maple Leafs face a back-to-back over the weekend. Dennis Hildeby has been brought up from the AHL to prove cover for Joseph Woll, who might start both of the upcoming games. Woll, who replaced Stolarz in the second period on Thursday, has impressed with an 8-3-0 record this campaign. He's recorded one shutout while allowing 2.16 goals with a .921 save percentage.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz is the team's projected starter for Friday's tilt against Washington. The Maple Leafs close out the week with a back-to-back, and Stolarz is set to handle the first leg. Joseph Woll will likely be between the sticks in Saturday's matchup against Pittsburgh. Stolarz already boasts one win from this week, having beaten Chicago 4-1 with 27 saves on Monday. He's flipped between wins and losses over his last five starts. Despite his recent inconsistency, Stolarz is sporting a good 8-4-2 record. He has allowed 2.23 goals with a fantastic .924 save percentage and one shutout. Stolarz is expected to boost his wins total on Friday, as the Capitals head to Toronto without Alex Ovechkin (lower leg) and are +125 underdogs for the clash.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz is expected to make his 10th start of the campaign in Friday's Original Six matchup against the Detroit Red Wings. He has just collected his first shutout of the season by defeating Boston 4-0 in another Original Six matchup on Tuesday. Stolarz hasn't suffered a regulation defeat in five straight starts, posting a 5-2-2 record for the season. Only two teams have gotten more than two pucks past Stolarz, who's sporting a very good 2.12 goals-against average. The Maple Leafs won't have Auston Matthews (upper body) in the lineup, but they are still -122 favorites on Friday, meaning Stolarz has a strong chance to secure another victory.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz is expected to get the starting nod on Saturday evening when the Leafs host the New York Rangers. Stolarz has started in all but one game this season and held a stellar .940 SV% and 1.69 GAA with a 2-1 record through his first three starts as a Leaf. The 30-year-old has yet to surrender more than two goals in a single start. Last season in Florida, Stolarz posted a strong .925 SV% and 2.03 GAA in 27 games. However, the former second-round pick faces a tall task this evening in the Rangers, as they have scored at least four goals in every game this season and tallied five in three of them, making him a risky play in DFS.
Florida Panthers goaltender Anthony Stolarz is getting the start on Tuesday night against the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs. Sergei Bobrovsky is getting a breather despite the Panthers sitting just one point back of the Bruins for first in the Atlantic Division with one game to go for each club. The decision was aided by the fact Stolarz has been excellent this season. The 30-year-old has worked to a 2.03 goals-against average and a .926 save percentage, both of which rank first in the NHL among qualified netminders. He is 15-7-2 on the season in 26 outings (23 starts). The Bruins host the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday.
Florida Panthers goaltender Anthony Stolarz is the starting netminder for Thursday's contest versus the visiting Montreal Canadiens.

The London Knights product has registered a dynamite 1.97 goals-against average and a .925 save percentage across 18 outings (16 starts), going 10-5-2 in the process. He has allowed two goals or fewer in each of his last five starts and his 9.54 goals saved above average ranks 10th of 69 qualified netminders, as per Hockey Reference. Stolarz will take on a Montreal Canadiens team that sits in a tie for 27th in overall offense, making him an excellent streaming option Thursday evening.

Sergei Bobrovsky gets a breather after going 2-3-0 across the first five games of the season. Stolarz has been a solid backup in the league, going 27-24-7 in 59 career starts. He was 5-6-0 with the struggling Ducks last season, allowing 3.73 goals with a .899 save percentage.

Anaheim Ducks goaltender Anthony Stolarz is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury. The 29-year-old started the last game against Chicago and improved to 5-6-0 for the season with a 3-2 overtime win, but it looks like he won't be available for Friday's tilt versus Pittsburgh. John Gibson will face his hometown team in the Ducks crease. He's been strong recently with a 3-1-1 run, but this is still a nightmare of a matchup for Gibson, who has been giving up nearly four goals per game (3.89) this season.

This was an impressive performance from a guy who hadn't played since Mar. 12. Getting game action is difficult for Stolarz whilst John Gibson stays healthy, but he's sure made good use of his few opportunities this season, going 10-6-2 with a 2.53 goals-against average and a .921 save percentage. The 28-year-old could start to see more action once the Ducks are out of playoff contention and that isn't far away anymore, with the team sitting 12 points off the final wild-card spot.

Stolarz won his sixth consecutive start while facing 25 or fewer shots for the third straight time. Seattle could not mount much of an offense. Only a Ryan Donato power-play goal prevented Stolarz from getting a shutout. The Ducks' backup goalie now has six wins on the season in nine decisions. He remains an excellent respite for John Gibson when Gibson cannot start.
Anthony Stolarz Gets Another Start For Anaheim Wednesday
Anaheim Ducks goaltender Anthony Stolarz will start once more for the Ducks on Wednesday. The Ducks will entertain the Seattle Kraken, who are on the back end of a back-to-back set. Stolarz has been incredible of late in goal for Anaheim. He has two shutouts and four straight wins. Toss out the Vegas start, and the numbers are even more incredible. He has allowed just nine goals on his last 136 shots faced. The Anaheim goaltender is looking for his sixth win of the season on Wednesday night against just two losses in regulation and one in extra time.
Anaheim Ducks backup goalie Anthony Stolarz logged his second shutout in three starts and fourth straight win by knocking off the Buffalo Sabres by a score of 2-0 on Tuesday. Stolarz made 25 saves against Buffalo, with 15 coming in the third period. He's posted a 4-2-1 record with 2.42 goals-against average and a .928 save percentage.

Anaheim Ducks goalie Anthony Stolarz gets the nod against Buffalo on Tuesday. This year, Stolarz has only played in six contests, compiling a 3-2-1 record with one shutout. He will play in place of regular starter John Gibson, who gets a much-deserved day of rest as he has played in 20 contests in 2021. Although Stolarz doesn't play very often, he's won his last three starts, with his previous win coming in early December.

Stolarz was particularly stellar on the man disadvantage where he made 12 saves including several point-blank opportunities. Anaheim went up 1-0 late in the first period and never looked back as Stolarz shut the door. His patience was tested early and often as Stolarz faced 26 of the 34 shots overall during the first 40 minutes. Ottawa and Brady Tkachuk, in particular, were very active on their four power-plays but Stolarz was up to the task on Friday.
Anaheim Ducks goaltender Anthony Stolarz will be between the pipes in Friday's matchup against the Senators. The 27-year-old gets his fifth start of the season, entering the game with a 1-2-1 record. Stolarz has allowed 2.98 goals per game with a .912 save percentage. Anaheim's No. 2 hasn't had much success this season, but the team has played well in recent weeks and it's a matchup against a struggling team, so Stolarz looks to be in a strong place to improve his record.
Anaheim Ducks goalie Anthony Stolarz started in goal Friday in place of John Gibson, who suffered a lower-body injury on Wednesday. Minnesota defeated the Ducks 2-1. Stolarz recorded 41 saves on 43 Wild shots. The 27-year-old netminder has compiled a record 10-11-4 in 35 NHL games in his career. Last season, Stolarz played in just eight contests for Anaheim. With the retirement of Ryan Miller, the New Jersey native should see more starts, especially if Gibson's lower-body injury is serious. However, as of right now, Stolarz will not be a factor in fantasy hockey until there has been an update on the status of Gibson's injury.
