Woll made 29 saves in a 5-3 loss to Nashville on Saturday.
He allowed three goals, two of which were the result of poor team play, not poor goalie play. Woll is the top dog in Toronto, and he's 1-1-0 with a .912 save percentage in two starts since his return from injury. Woll is undeniably the best Leaf on the ice in every contest he's in. He needs more support from his teammates, though.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Solid in return from injury
Rotowire
Woll (lower body) made 23 saves in a 3-2 win over the Blackhawks on Tuesday.
Woll surrendered two goals, including a shorthanded snipe, in a 4:37 span in the first period and then settled in. He had missed four games due to injury. Woll kept his team in the game in the second and most of the third when boos rained down for their weak play. Still, the Leafs are 5-1-2 in the past eight games, and they could do as well or better with Woll back in the paint. He's 5-3-1 overall with a 2.39 GAA and .927 save percentage.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: In goal Tuesday
Rotowire
Woll (lower body) will start at home against the Blackhawks on Tuesday, according to Joshua Kloke of The Athletic.
Woll will make his first start since Dec. 4 in Raleigh after missing four consecutive games because of his injury. The 27-year-old is still officially on injured reserve, per the NHL media site, but that tag should be lifted in short order. Prior to getting hurt, Woll had won back-to-back outings, posting a phenomenal 1.20 GAA and a .960 save percentage across that span. The Blackhawks, who sit 24th in the NHL with 2.84 goals per game this season, will be without Connor Bedard (upper body) on Tuesday, so this could be a favorable matchup for Woll.

Rotowire
Woll (lower body) said Friday that he's feeling better but doesn't expect to play Saturday against Edmonton, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Woll is eligible to return from injured reserve for Saturday's matchup, but it appears as though he'll require at least one more game on the shelf due to his lower-body injury. Assuming he's sidelined against the Oilers, his next opportunity to suit up would be Tuesday against Chicago.

He has posted a 4-3-1 record with a 2.44 GAA and a .923 save percentage through eight appearances this season.

Woll stopped 22 of 23 shots over the first two periods of the contest before exiting.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Trying to bounce back
Rotowire
Woll will protect the road goal versus the Blue Jackets on Wednesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Woll took the loss versus the Canadiens on Saturday, allowing four goals on 25 shots before he was pulled for Dennis Hildeby. Over four games this season, Woll has allowed 12 goals on 116 shots for an .897 save percentage. The Blue Jackets are without Kirill Marchenko (upper body), which may make this a slightly easier assignment for Woll and the Maple Leafs.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Pulled from Saturday's game
Rotowire
Woll was pulled from Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Canadiens. He stopped 21 of 25 shots before departing the contest.
Woll entered this game sporting a 1-1-1 record with a 2.57 GAA and a .912 save percentage, and this was his worst outing of the campaign by a wide margin. He was pulled in the third period, but his role as the Maple Leafs' starting netminder isn't at risk. Fantasy managers shouldn't overreact to one subpar outing from the 27-year-old. The Maple Leafs continue their road trip against the Blue Jackets on Wednesday, and it wouldn't be surprising if Woll is back between the posts for that game.
