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.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll has been confirmed as the team's starter for Monday's matchup against Connor Bedard and the Blackhawks. It's going to be his first appearance of the season after Ilya Samsonov guarded the crease in both of the team's first two games. The Russian netminder has had a rough start to the campaign, giving up nine goals with a .839 save percentage, so Woll could have a chance to pick up some extra work if he does well Monday night. Woll showed himself as a reliable alternative between the pipes last term, going 6-1-0 with a 2.16 goals-against average and a .932 save percentage. He will face a team that has tallied only 2.33 goals per game early in the season.
Joseph Woll Set To Start Season As Maple Leafs No. 2
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll looks set to be the backup for starter Ilya Samsonov in 2023-24. With Matt Murray (undisclosed) unavailable and starting the season on long-term Injured Reserve, the Maple Leafs recently snapped up veteran Martin Jones, but it looks like the team is trusting Woll as the No. 2. "I think he's ready to grab a hold of a job here," Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving said of Woll. The 25-year-old has already spent some time with the team in the last couple of seasons, posting a 9-2-0 record in 11 appearances, but he's mostly worked in the AHL. Woll enjoyed a fantastic 16-4-1 campaign with the Toronto Marlies last season, showing that he might be indeed ready to make the step up to the big league.
Joseph Woll Nearly Posts A Shutout In First Playoff Start
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll put in a very strong performance in his first playoff start on Wednesday, helping the team to stay alive in the series against Florida with a 2-1 win. The 24-year-old faced 25 shots and was beaten only by Sam Reinhart on the power play 12:13 into the third period. Woll became the first Maple Leafs rookie netminder since Felix Potvin in 1993 to earn a win in the playoffs. He's now 1-1 for these playoffs with a 2.45 goals-against average and a .902 save percentage. Woll came up big for the team on Wednesday and looks to have a strong chance to stay in the crease even if Ilya Samsonov (upper body) is deemed healthy to play for Friday's Game 5.
Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Joseph Woll will be tending twine in Game 4 against the Florida Panthers on Wednesday. He replaced the injured Ilya Samsonov early in the second period, faced 21 shots, and allowed three goals, resulting in an overtime loss to Florida in Game 3. Woll has had limited play in the 2022-23 playoffs thus far, registering a 0-1-0 record, a .846 save percentage, and a 3.85 goals-against average. The 24-year-old will have a tough challenge against the Panthers, who led the NHL in shots on goal per game at 36.8 during the regular season.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll starts on Sunday night versus the Winnipeg Jets. Toronto has been very good in support of Woll in three appearances. The backup goaltender has won all three starts and allowed just five goals. He has more than earned the right to start at least one of every back-to-back situation. Woll's goals-against-average is less than two and has two quality starts in those games. It will not be easy to slow down a team that just scored eight goals but Woll could be one of those few goaltenders that could pull off a road win in Winnipeg.
