Toronto Maple Leafs News

Stolarz suffered an upper-body injury during warmups before Saturday's game and did not play, but has been cleared to play in their upcoming game on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. The 32-year-old Stolarz has had a disappointing season, a recurring theme for the entire Maple Leafs team, but has played better lately. Since returning from the Olympic break, Stolarz has a solid 2.75 GAA and .921 SV% in six appearances (1-2-2). The Maple Leafs enter Tuesday's contest as +165 road underdogs against a Bruins team with points in five straight games (3-0-2).

Stolarz suffered an upper-body injury during warmups before Saturday's game and did not play, but has been cleared for their upcoming game on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. That said, the Maple Leafs recalled Dennis Hildeby from the Toronto Marlies (AHL) for precautionary reasons.

With Anthony Stolarz (upper body) suffering an injury during Saturday's pregame skate, the Maple Leafs have recalled Hildeby from the Marlies (AHL). The 24-year-old Hildeby was solid in a stint with the Maple Leafs earlier this season, posting a 2.84 GAA and .912 SV% in 19 appearances (5-6-4).

Woll's workload continues to ramp up as the Maple Leafs will turn to him between the pipes for the fifth time in their last six games. Woll was unfortunate to be tagged with the loss in his last outing, allowing just three goals on 34 shots in a 3-1 loss to the Islanders on Tuesday. The 27-year-old netminder carries a 14-12-5 record and a .905 SV% into Friday night's game against the Hurricanes, where the Leafs are unsurprisingly the underdogs at +185 on the money line.

Philippe Myers will be a healthy scratch on Friday, allowing Benoit to return from a one-game absence. The 27-year-old Benoit is averaging 17:07 time-on-ice and has four assists in 60 games this season.

Simon Benoit will return from a one-game absence on Friday against the Carolina Hurricanes, sending Myers back to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 29-year-old Myers is averaging 14:09 time-on-ice and has two assists in 34 games this season.

After being an NHL mainstay for most of the previous three seasons with the Montreal Canadiens, Pezzetta has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL. The 28-year-old forward has 10 points (4G / 6A) in 37 games with the Marlies (AHL) this season.

Matthews was involved in a knee-on-knee collision with Ducks captain Radko Gudas last week and was almost immediately ruled out for the remainder of the season. Gudas was issued a five-minute major for kneeing and a game misconduct penalty on the play, and is now serving a five-game suspension. Matthews' injury caps what has been a nightmare season for the Maple Leafs. His season comes to an abrupt end after 60 games, with career lows of 27 goals and 26 assists.

Buhr is an undrafted 23-year-old forward that the Maple Leafs have signed to a one-year, entry-level contract after completing his collegiate hockey career. In 35 games with Union College (ECAC), Buhr scored 36 points (19G / 17A) this season.

Benoit will be the odd-man out on Toronto's blue-line as Oliver Ekman-Larsson returns after missing Sunday's game due to the birth of his child. Benoit has appeared in 50 games this season, logging zero goals and four assists.

Ekman-Larsson did not play on Sunday and was not at Toronto's morning skate on Tuesday following the birth of his child. The 34-year-old Swedish defenseman is having a resurgent season, with 35 points (8G / 27A) in 65 games. This marks the most points he has had in a season since 2018-19, when he scored 44 points (14G / 30A) in 81 games as a member of the Arizona Coyotes.

Woll had the night off in Toronto's previous game after starting three straight, but he will return to the crease on Tuesday against the New York Islanders. Despite losing two of his last three (1-1-1), Woll has been excellent lately, posting a 2.63 GAA and .924 SV%, a vast improvement over the ugly 5.13 GAA and .849 SV% he had in his first three games back from the Olympic break (0-3-0). The Maple Leafs enter Tuesday's contest as +123 home underdogs against an Islanders team that has lost three of its last six games (3-3-0).

Borgesi is a 22-year-old defenceman who recently completed his NCAA career and will sign with the Maple Leafs as a free agent. He tallied 16 goals and 64 assists in 134 games across four seasons at Northeastern University.

Ekman-Larsson did not play on Sunday and was not at Toronto's morning skate on Tuesday. It is unclear what his status is heading into their game against the New York Islanders. The 34-year-old Swedish defenseman is having a resurgent season, with 35 points (8G / 27A) in 65 games. This marks the most points he has had in a season since 2018-19, when he scored 44 points (14G / 30A) in 81 games as a member of the Arizona Coyotes.
