After serving as the backup to Joseph Woll for two straight games, Stolarz will likely start his second consecutive contest on Tuesday when the Maple Leafs host the Boston Bruins. Stolarz has allowed four goals in two of his last three games (1-1-1) but was solid in his most recent outing, saving 31 of 33 shots (.939 SV%) in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild. The 30-year-old Stolarz is sporting an impressive 2.38 GAA and .919 SV% through eight games this season (4-2-2).

The Maple Leafs, riding a season-worst three-game losing streak (0-2-1), will turn to Stolarz in the crease for a second consecutive outing. Before Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins when Stolarz allowed four goals on 34 shots (.882 SV%), he had allowed two or fewer goals in each of his previous five contests (3-2-0). The 30-year-old netminder has a solid 2.19 GAA and .927 SV% in six appearances. The Maple Leafs enter the action on Monday as slight -101 road underdogs against the undefeated Winnipeg Jets (8-0-0).

Stolarz allowed two goals on 34 shots in the Maple Leafs win over the Lightning on Monday. Dennis Hildeby started on Tuesday and Joseph Woll started on Thursday, so Stolarz will be well-rested for Saturday's matchup with the Bruins. Stolarz has been fantastic to start his Maple Leafs career, going 3-2-0 with a 1.83 GAA and .938 SV% in his first five starts.

Joseph Woll (lower-body) is seemingly nearing a return from injury, but for the fifth time in six games to start the season, the Maple Leafs will likely turn to Stolarz between the pipes. The 30-year-old Stolarz has been tremendous early in his tenure with the Maple Leafs, allowing two or fewer goals in each of his four outings (2-2-0), posting a stellar 1.79 GAA and .937 SV%. The Maple Leafs enter the action on Monday as -136 home favorites against a Tampa Bay Lightning club coming off a 5-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators.

With Joseph Woll (lower-body) still sidelined, the Maple Leafs will turn to Stolarz between the pipes for the third time in their first four games. The 31-year-old Stolarz was incredible last season, posting a 2.03 GAA and .925 SV% in 27 outings (16-7-2), and has picked up where he left off, showcasing a tremendous 1.54 GAA and .940 SV% through two games this season (1-1-0). The Maple Leafs enter action as -173 home favorites against a Los Angeles Kings club that was defeated 8-7 by the Ottawa Senators in their last contest.

Stolarz allowed one goal on 27 shots in the Maple Leafs' 1-0 loss in Montreal on opening night. Despite the loss, it was a strong showing for Stolarz, who could see extra playing time while Joseph Woll is out with a lower-body injury. The Maple Leafs are -195 home favourites vs. the Penguins on Saturday.

Stolarz was signed by the Maple Leafs in the offseason under the presumption that he would be a heavy-workload backup behind Joseph Woll, but he will start for their season opener as Woll is battling through lower-body tightness. The 30-year-old Stolarz posted career bests with a 2.03 GAA and .925 SV% in 27 games with the Florida Panthers last season (16-7-2). Stolarz also set a career-high with 24 starts last season and has only started more than 12 games twice in his career, but the expectation is that Stolarz should set a new career-high in starts this season. The Maple Leafs enter the action on Wednesday as -190 road favorites against the Montreal Canadiens.
Toronto solidified its crease on Monday by making its second goalie signing of the day by bringing in Anthony Stolarz to a two-year deal worth $5.0 million ($2.5M AAV). The 30-year-old netminder made a massively positive impression in his first year backing up in Florida, leading all back-ups by posting a 16-7-2 record, 2.03 GAA and .925 SV%.
The Panthers will turn to Stolarz for their final game of the season on Tuesday night. Stolarz has been solid in a backup role this season and is coming off a 25-save performance in a 2-0 victory over the Ottawa Senators for his second shutout. The Panthers enter action as -149 home favourites against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Panthers head coach Paul Maurice confirmed earlier this morning that Sergei Bobrovsky would get the start, but it appears there was a change of plans as Stolarz led the Panthers onto the ice for warmups for Tuesday's game against the Senators. Stolarz will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing start against the Canadiens last Tuesday, when we allowed five goals on 39 shots as the Panthers suffered a 5-3 defeat.
With Florida on the second half of a back-to-back, Anthony Stolarz will get the call in Montreal after stopping six shots in a relief appearance vs. Toronto on Monday. The 30-year-old veteran has been arguably the league's best backup goaltender in his first season in Florida, with his 14-6-2 record, 1.99 GAA, and .926 SV%. He heads to Montreal to take on the Canadiens on Tuesday, who have won three of their last four games despite still having the 28th most goals per game in the league (2.68).
