• Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Suspect goals lead to loss

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Woll made 20 saves on 23 shots in a 4-2 loss to St. Louis on Saturday. The fourth goal was an empty-netter. He was OK, but he allowed two goals on point shots that should generally be stoppable for NHL goalies. Woll has talent but needs to establish consistency before fantasy managers can rely on him. After returning from an early-season groin issue, he allowed seven goals in two losses to the Blue and had a brilliant win over the Kraken on Thursday.

• Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Bounces back Thursday

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Woll made 24 saves in a 4-1 win over Seattle on Thursday. It was a strong outing for Woll -- he came within 3:28 of a shutout, but Eeli Tolvanen put it past his blocker while on a 6-on-5 advantage with Joey Daccord on the bench. It was a nice bounce back from his 5-1 loss to St. Louis on Oct. 24 and could warrant a start in the Leafs' next game, a revenge match against St. Louis on Saturday. If not, Woll will be in net on Sunday, as Toronto plays Minnesota in a back-to-back.

• Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Starting Thursday's game

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Woll will serve as the starting goaltender for Thursday's home game against the Kraken, Mark Masters of TSN reports. Woll made his season debut at home against the Blues last Thursday and took the loss while allowing four goals on 26 shots. While Anthony Stolarz has performed well early in the 2024-25 campaign, Woll will get a chance to bounce back in his second start of the season Thursday.

• Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Rough night in season debut

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Woll (lower body) made 22 saves Thursday in a 5-1 loss to the Blues. It was Woll's first game of the season after missing seven games to groin tightness, and he looked rusty. He was out of shape and angle at times, and he didn't track the puck well. Woll even told reporters after the game that he'd like to have at least two of the goals back. Watch for him to be eased into action given the strength of Anthony Stolarz to begin to the season. Woll and Stolarz will likely end up splitting starts, but right now, the Leafs will likely go with the hot hand more often than not.

  Woll (lower body) will defend the home crease versus St. Louis on Thursday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. Woll was activated off injured reserve earlier in the day and will make his season debut Thursday. The goalkeeper was 12-11-1 with a 2.93 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 25 regular-season games in 2023-24. He is expected to share the net with Anthony Stolarz this season. The Blues are averaging 2.86 goals per game and will play their first game without the services of top forward Robert Thomas, who fractured his ankle Tuesday.
