Stolarz was the first goalie off at morning skate, indicating he'll be between the pipes for Tuesday's home game versus Ottawa, per Mark Masters of TSN.
Stolarz is off to a great start in 2024-25 -- he's 4-0-2 in his last six games, and he hasn't lost in regulation since Oct. 19. The New Jersey native has been particularly good in November, allowing just three goals on 84 shots over three outings. Stolarz will go up against a Senators team that's scored 48 goals through 14 games.

Rotowire
Stolarz stopped 21 of 22 shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Red Wings.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: First goalie off Friday
Rotowire
Stolarz was the first goalie to exit the ice Friday, Dave McCarthy of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus Detroit.
Stolarz is coming off a 29-save shutout performance versus Boston on Tuesday, his first shutout of the 2024-25 campaign. It's been a strong start to the year for the 30-year-old backstop, having gone 5-2-1 with a 2.12 GAA and .928 save percentage in nine appearances. With the Leafs entering a back-to-back, look for Joseph Woll to get the starting nod versus the Canadiens at home Saturday.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: First shutout of season
Rotowire
Stolarz delivered 29 saves in a 4-0 win over the Bruins on Tuesday.
It's Stolarz's first shutout of the season. He's been everything the Leafs had imagined -- and perhaps even more -- when they inked him as a free agent. Stolarz is currently the clear number one in Leafland, but it's important for fantasy managers to watch his workload. He has never started more than 24 games in any season, and he has a history of injuries. Managers will need to have a safety net for Stolarz as the calendar flips.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Tending twine Tuesday
Rotowire
Stolarz will be between the pipes for Tuesday's divisional showdown versus Boston, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.
Stolarz made 31 saves on 33 shots in a 2-1 overtime loss to Minnesota in his last appearance. The 30-year-old netminder is up to a 4-2-2 record, .919 save percentage and 2.38 GAA across eight appearances. Stolarz will take on a Boston team averaging a meager 2.62 goals through 13 games.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Takes close loss in overtime
Rotowire
Stolarz stopped 31 of 33 shots in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Wild.
Stolarz continues to put in good performances, but he was unlucky to take the loss this time. He can't be blamed for the decisive goal -- the Maple Leafs thought they had a chance at a 3-on-1 break, but a great defensive play by Jared Spurgeon made it a 2-on-0 for the Wild going the other way. Stolarz is now 4-2-2 with a 2.38 GAA and a .919 save percentage over eight starts. He's sharing the crease with Joseph Woll at this point. The Maple Leafs play three times over the next week, with home games versus the Bruins on Tuesday, the Red Wings on Friday and the Canadiens on Saturday. Stolarz will likely make a minimum of one start in that span.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Ends Jets' season-opening streak
Rotowire
Stolarz made 19 saves on 23 shots in a 6-4 win over the Jets on Monday.
The Maple Leafs dominated the first two periods and were up 5-2 before they allowed the Jets back in the game in the third, but he stood tall. Stolarz was back in net Monday after Saturday's overtime loss, so it's clear that coach Craig Berube trusts him in net right now as Joseph Woll works his way back from a lower-body injury. Stolarz is now 4-2-1 with a 2.45 GAA and .916 save percentage after handing the Jets their first loss of the season.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Set to start Monday
Rotowire
Stolarz is expected to start on the road against Winnipeg on Monday, per David Alter of The Hockey News.
Stolarz will look to rebound after allowing four goals on 34 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss to Boston on Saturday. He's had a great start to the campaign overall, posting a 2.18 GAA and a .927 save percentage through six appearances. Winnipeg will be a major challenge, though. The Jets are 8-0-0 and rank second offensively with 4.50 goals per game.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Strong play not enough
Rotowire
Stolarz made 30 saves Saturday in a 4-3 overtime loss to Boston.
Stolarz played a strong game, but the puck didn't bounce his way on Brad Marchand's game-winner. The 30-year-old Stolarz is 3-2-1 with a 2.19 GAA and a .927 save percentage through six outings this season. Those are elite numbers for the former backup turned platoon leader. Stolarz and Joseph Woll could begin to alternate starts, but Stolarz is a great fantasy play when he's between the pipes.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Earns win Monday
Rotowire
Stolarz allowed two goals on 34 shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Lightning.
Stolarz has given up exactly two goals in each of his last four appearances, though he's posted a 3-1-0 record with a 2.02 GAA and a .932 save percentage in that span. He figures to rest in Tuesday's matchup at Columbus, but the 30-year-old should return to Toronto's crease against the Blues on Thursday.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Another strong outing
Rotowire
Stolarz made 25 saves in a 4-1 loss to the Rangers on Saturday. He allowed two goals.
Stolarz has been absolutely dominant this season, despite a 2-2-0 record. He has a 1.79 GAA and a .937 save percentage in four starts. Joseph Woll (lower body) has returned to practice, but Stolarz has shown he can carry the load for the Leafs. Watch for the team to platoon the two goalies once Woll returns, but it's clear Stolarz can be the man in Toronto if need be.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Expected to start Saturday
Rotowire
Stolarz is going through his routine as a starter at morning practice, according to Dave McCarthy of NHL.com, and is expected to guard the home crease versus the Rangers on Saturday.
Stolarz has been outstanding to start the season, going 2-1-0 while allowing only five goals on 84 shots (.940 save percentage). Dennis Hildeby is expected to back up Stolarz, as Joseph Woll (lower body) is still not ready to return to the lineup. Stolarz will have a tough assignment against the Rangers, who have found the back of the net 20 times in four games.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Starting Wednesday's game
Rotowire
Stolarz was the first goalie off Wednesday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports, indicating he'll be in the home goal against the Kings.
Stolarz picked up his first win with his new team Saturday against Pittsburgh, turning aside 21 of 23 shots in his second start of the year. The 30-year-old has established himself as the Maple Leafs' No. 1 goaltender early in the season, but Joseph Woll (lower body) was on the ice for the team's morning skate Wednesday, so he could push for playing time soon.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: First win in new uniform
Rotowire
Stolarz made 21 saves in a 4-2 win over the Penguins on Saturday.
Stolarz earned his first win as a member of the Maple Leafs in his second outing of 2024-25. He didn't have much of a chance on either goal after the first was a power-play slapper through a sea of legs in the opening period, and the second was a rocket from high in the slot through another screen. Stolarz is providing the Leafs with strong and confident netminding early this season, and he's cementing his role as a possible 1A/1B with Joseph Woll (lower body) on the shelf.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Gets no help in loss
Rotowire
Stolarz made 26 saves in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Canadiens.
The 30-year-old played well in his Maple Leafs debut -- the only puck to get past him came on a Cole Caufield one-timer on the power play -- but Sam Montembeault stood on his head in the other crease. Stolarz was expected to back up Joseph Woll (lower body) this season, but given the latter's sketchy injury history and the fact that he's already on the shelf, that's still likely to lead to a career-high workload in 2024-25.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: In goal Wednesday
Rotowire
Stolarz will get the starting nod on the road against Montreal on Wednesday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Stolarz was originally expected to take the second game of the back-to-back versus New Jersey on Thursday, but a lower-body injury to Joseph Woll has shuffled the Leafs' plans. The 30-year-old Stolarz has never reached the 30-game mark in his career but could play himself into a bigger share of the workload with some strong performances early on. As of now, Woll hasn't been ruled out for Thursday's matchup, though Dennis Hildeby has been promoted from the minors.
