Stolarz is in the starter's crease at Toronto's morning skate.

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, without Auston Matthews (upper body), enter the action on Monday as -126 home favorites against a Bruins club with a -8 goal differential through 13 games (6-6-1).

Matthews (upper-body) is out on Tuesday vs. Boston and considered day-to-day.

Despite playing 22:12 time-on-ice in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild, Matthews is battling through an upper-body injury that will prevent him from playing on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. Matthews has completed each of the previous seven seasons as a point-per-game player but is off to a slow start this season by his elite standards, with 11 points (5G / 6A) in 13 games. That said, the 27-year-old Matthews has six points (2G / 4A) in his last five games.

Woll will start Saturday in St. Louis.

Woll allowed one goal on 25 shots in the Maple Leafs' win over the Kraken on Thursday. Woll will start for a second straight game, as he faces his hometown team in St. Louis. Woll faced the Blues in his first start of the season, he allowed four goals on 26 shots in a 5-1 loss on on October 24th.

The Maple Leafs have assigned Jani Hakanpää (knee) to Toronto (AHL) on an LTIR conditioning loan.

Hakanpää is eligible to play with the Marlies for six days and three games as he works his way back from arthroscopic knee surgery. Upon returning from the Marlies, Hakanpää will be in the mix as the Maple Leafs' No.6 defenseman with Conor Timmins and Matt Benning.

Woll will start on Thursday vs. Seattle.

The Maple Leafs have been bleeding defensively lately, being outscored 19-12 over their last four games (1-2-1), and will turn to Woll for his second start of the season. Woll showed some rust last week, returning from a lower-body injury, allowing four goals on 26 shots (.846 SV%) in his season debut, a 5-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues. That said, the Maple Leafs handed the Winnipeg Jets their first loss of the season in their last outing and will enter the action against the Seattle Kraken on Thursday as -184 home favorites.

Joseph Woll
The Maple Leafs acquired Benning, a 2025 third-round draft pick, and a 2026 sixth-round draft pick from the Sharks on Wednesday in exchange for defenceman Timothy Liljegren.

Benning will likely fill a depth role for the Maple Leafs and does not figure to earn a lot of immediate playing time. He was yet to register a point and was a -5 through seven games with the Sharks this season. Benning leaves San Jose after totaling one goal and 25 assists in 98 games over parts of three seasons.

Matt Benning
Stolarz will start in Winnipeg on Monday.

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).
