Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll stopped 29 of the 31 shots he saw en route to defeating the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday evening. The Ducks dominated the shot total, but Woll was able to lead the way. The Ducks scored their first goal in the second frame on a Leo Carlsson wrist shot. In the third, Woll would allow his second goal, this time on the power play, to Sam Colangelo. This outing snapped a two-game losing skid for Woll. Woll held a 4.53 GAA with a .864 save percentage in this losing stretch. However, Woll posted a 5-1 record before this skid with a 3.00 GAA and a .904 save percentage. Fantasy managers should continue to expect Woll and Anthony Stolarz to share the Toronto crease. Stolarz will likely get the starting nod in their next game on Wednesday evening against the Florida Panthers.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll stopped 38 of the 39 shots he saw en route to defeating the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday evening. Woll's lone blemish came in the second frame when Colorado wing Valeri Nichushkin scored his 18th goal of the season on the power play. Woll would then stop all 11 shots he saw in the final frame to seal the victory. This outing extended his winning streak to three contests. During this stretch, the 26-year-old has held an impressive 1.95 GAA with a .939 save percentage. Before this recent surge, Woll carried a much higher 3.73 GAA with a .871 save percentage. Fantasy managers should expect Woll to continue to share the Toronto crease with Anthony Stolarz. Woll's next start will likely come on Saturday against the Nashville Predators.
Joseph Woll Starts First Leg Of Back-To-Back Wednesday
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll is set to start in Wednesday's matchup against the Colorado Avalanche. The Maple Leafs have two games in two nights and will likely turn to Anthony Stolarz in Thursday's clash against the New York Rangers. Although Woll hasn't seen much action lately, he has performed admirably when called upon. He boasts a record of 4-1-0 in his last five appearances. For the season, Woll holds a 23-12-0 record with a 2.76 goals-against average, a .905 save percentage, and one shutout. On Wednesday, Woll faces a challenging test against the NHL's leading scorer, Nathan MacKinnon, and Colorado's high-octane offense.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll will get the starting nod on Monday evening against the Calgary Flames. Anthony Stolarz has gotten the nod in each of the previous two contests. In Woll's last start, he picked up a victory and allowed three goals on 33 shots. Over his previous four games, Woll has held a 3-1 record with an underwhelming .871 save percentage with a 3.90 GAA. However, before this stretch, the 26-year-old held a strong 2.61 GAA with a .915 save percentage over his last seven games. Fantasy managers should view Woll as a top option in DFS, facing a Calgary offense that has struggled to generate consistent offensive opportunities. Stolarz will likely get the nod in their next contest on Wednesday against the Colorado Avalanche.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll will start the first leg of a back-to-back against Boston on Saturday. Woll will try to extend his winning streak to four games. He has allowed only four goals during his recent hot streak, improving his goals-against average to 2.40 and his record to 12-6-0. Through 18 appearances, Woll has registered a .917 save percentage. The Bruins have been mediocre this season and travel to Canada with a four-game road losing streak. Toronto will also have Auston Matthews (upper body) back in the lineup, so Woll has a good chance to continue his winning run.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll will take on the Utah Hockey Club on Sunday. The Maple Leafs are giving Woll a second consecutive start after he collected his first shutout of the season last time out in a 3-0 victory versus Vegas. The result also marked a third consecutive victory for Woll, who has taken his record to 4-2-0. The 26-year-old has done commendable work, allowing 2.00 goals with a .922 save percentage. Utah's offense has blown hot and cold all season, but the NHL new boys are riding some momentum on Sunday after putting six pucks past the Penguins in a big win on Saturday.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll (lower body) will make his season debut on Thursday versus St. Louis. He was forced to sit out the first few games of the season because of a lower-body injury. Woll played well with the Maple Leafs last term, going 12-11-1 and allowing 2.94 goals with a .907 save percentage. He faces a team that has averaged 2.71 goals per game this season, only nine teams have managed fewer goals. St. Louis will also be without its top-line center Robert Thomas (ankle).
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll (lower body) has been placed on Injured Reserve. The move comes after the team ruled Woll out for Wednesday's season opener against Montreal due to lower-body tightness. He will now be forced to miss at least seven days of action, meaning the Maple Leafs won't have Woll available for three games. The team has called up Dennis Hildeby from the minors to work as Anthony Stolarz's backup versus the Canadiens. Stolarz has posted a 3-1-0 career record against the 24-time Stanley Cup champions. Hildeby looks set for his NHL debut on Thursday versus New Jersey.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll was at his best in Game 5 of the team's first-round series against the Boston Bruins, backstopping the Leafs to a 2-1 overtime victory. Woll stopped 27 of 28 shots, including a few game-savers late in the third and in overtime. The 25-year-old was thrust into a difficult position on Tuesday, as he was asked to start his first game of the playoffs with the team down 3-1 in the series. Ilya Samsonov started the first four games of the series but had some difficulties and was pulled after the second period of Game 4. The Leafs decided to go with Woll for Game 5 and it paid dividends, so they will likely return to him for the remainder of the series.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll is expected to be the team's starting goaltender for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Boston Bruins. Woll didn't take part in the morning skate while both Ilya Samsonov and Martin Jones did, suggesting Woll will indeed be between the pipes for his first start of the series. Woll replaced Samsonov for the third period of Game 4 on Saturday and turned aside all five shots he faced in his team's 3-1 loss. The 25-year-old took over the starting role from Samsonov early in the season but suffered a high-ankle sprain in early December and missed nearly three months. He worked to a 2.94 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage across 25 regular-season appearances.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll will be between the pipes for Tuesday's road game against the Florida Panthers. Ilya Samsonov has started each of the last two games and four of the last five but it will be Woll going Tuesday with Wednesday's starter to be determined against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Woll took over the starter's role early in the season over the then-struggling Samsonov but suffered a high-ankle sprain in a Dec. 7 win over the Ottawa Senators and didn't return until Feb. 29. He hasn't been as sharp since getting back but still owns a solid 2.88 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage across 24 games (22 starts) on the season. Samsonov is likely to start Game 1 of the postseason while Woll will serve as the backup.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll is likely to start Wednesday's road game against the Washington Capitals. It's the second game of a back-to-back for the Maple Leafs after dropping a 4-3 decision to the Flyers on Tuesday in Philadelphia. It's Woll's first start since March 7 as Ilya Samsonov has started the last four games. Woll initially took over the No. 1 job from Samsonov when the latter struggled early in the season but a high-ankle sprain suffered in a Dec. 7 win over the Ottawa Senators sidelined him for nearly three months. He owns a 2.89 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage in 18 games (16 starts) on the season, including an .881 Sv% in three starts since returning.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll (ankle) returned for the first time since Dec. 7 on Thursday and was instrumental in a 4-2 win over the visiting Arizona Coyotes. The 25-year-old steered aside 30 of the 32 shots he faced (.938 save percentage) and improved to a 2.75 goals-against average and a .918 Sv% across 16 outings (14 starts) on the season. Woll earned his ninth win in that time and first since a Nov. 30 victory over the Seattle Kraken via the shootout. Woll appeared in a single conditioning-game stint with the AHL's Toronto Marlies and made 36 saves on 37 shots (.973 Sv%) in a winning effort. With the win, the Maple Leafs improved to 34-17-8 on the season, good for third spot in the Atlantic Division.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll (ankle) will be back between the pipes for Thursday's home game versus the Arizona Coyotes. The 25-year-old has been out since suffering a high-ankle sprain in a Dec. 7 win over the Ottawa Senators. The Leafs recalled Woll from his AHL conditioning stint earlier in the week. Woll was excellent prior to his injury, working to a 2.80 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage across 15 games (13 starts), going 8-5-1 in that time. He had overtaken the starting role from the then-struggling Ilya Samsonov, but considering Samsonov has been far better of late, there should be more of a timeshare in the Leafs' crease moving forward.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have recalled goaltender Joseph Woll from his conditioning stint with the American Hockey League's Toronto Marlies. The 25-year-old has been out since Dec. 7 when he suffered a high ankle sprain in a win over the Ottawa Senators. Prior to his injury, Woll had overtaken the No. 1 goaltender role with the Maple Leafs over the previously struggling Ilya Samsonov. Woll has produced a 2.80 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage across 15 games (13 starts) on the season, going 8-5-1 in the process. Samsonov has since returned to form after a brief demotion to the AHL while Martin Jones performed well during Woll's absence. As a result, Woll's playing time might be sporadic with the club potentially carrying three goaltenders moving forward.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll (ankle) will be out week-to-week, the team announced on Saturday. He suffered a high ankle sprain in Thursday's contest against Ottawa. Losing Woll is a bitter blow for the Maple Leafs, as the 25-year-old has been the team's most reliable option between the pipes this season, going 8-5-1. He's allowed 2.80 goals with a .916 save percentage. It will now be up to Ilya Samsonov to hold the fort down. He enters Saturday's meeting with Nashville with a 4-1-3 record, having given up 3.58 goals with a .878 save percentage. Martin Jones will be working as the backup.
Joseph Woll Suffers Significant Lower-Body Injury Thursday
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll (lower body) left Thursday's game early and is set to miss some time, according to head coach Sheldon Keefe. Woll made an awkward save on a weak shot from the side of the net in the third period and immediately went down. He had to be helped off the ice with what appears to be a leg injury. A timeline won't be known until a full MRI is done, but Woll will miss a decent number of games no matter the result. The 25-year-old rookie will be hard to replace for both the Leafs and fantasy managers, but if Ilya Samsonov is lying around on waivers, he should be picked up, as he is set to get the bulk of the work now. Martin Jones will back up Samsonov and will be a streaming option from time to time.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll is the projected starting goaltender for the club for Wednesday's home game against the rival Ottawa Senators. The 25-year-old came on in relief of Ilya Samsonov on Monday versus the Tampa Bay Lightning and turned aside 18 of 19 shots en route to a come-from-behind overtime victory. Through seven appearances (five starts) this season, Woll owns a healthy 2.30 goals-against average and a .930 save percentage while going 4-3-0 on the young season. Given Samsonov's struggles so far this season, there's a real chance Woll could get some runway, if he continues to perform well, as the Maple Leafs' No. 1 netminder, making him a solid waiver-wire addition or trade target in fantasy hockey.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll stopped 18-of-19 shots on goal in Monday's 6-5 overtime victory against the Lightning. Woll entered the game late in the first period after goaltender Ilya Samsonov had another rough performance, in which he surrendered four goals on 12 shots in the opening frame. Woll did not allow a goal until the 17:34 mark of the third period when Lightning forward Brandon Hagel tied the game. The 25-year-old improves to a record of 4-3-0 to go along with a 2.30 goals against average and terrific .930 save percentage through seven games, and he is projected to make his next start against the Senators on Wednesday night.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll will make his second start of the season when the team faces Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals on Tuesday. Ilya Samsonov had another nightmare at the weekend against Tampa Bay, allowing three goals on four shots, but Woll saved the day with 29 saves to secure a 4-3 victory on Saturday. It was a big improvement from Woll's season debut last Monday, where he coughed up three goals on 30 shots against Chicago. The thought of facing Ovechkin's crew has probably left several goalies with sleepless nights through the years, but it should be a great time to take on Washington right now. The Spencer Carbery era in D.C. has gotten off to a horrible start, with the Capitals averaging a league-low 1.25 goals in four games.
