Toronto Maple Leafs News

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

Woll had a subpar performance in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Ottawa Senators, allowing five goals on 31 shots (.839 SV%), but immediately responded with a 33-save shutout in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the New Jersey Devils. The Maple Leafs have had an up-and-down season, but have regularly received consistent netminding from Woll, who has a 2.51 GAA and .920 SV% in 13 games (8-4-1). The Maple Leafs enter Thursday's contest as -130 home favorites against a plummeting Winnipeg Jets team on a seven-game losing streak (0-4-3).

Tanev (groin) is expected to miss an extended period of time.

Tanev has only played three games since returning from a seven-week absence due to an injury and will return to the sidelines indefinitely. The 36-year-old Tanev has been plagued with injuries this season, limited to only 11 games, recording two assists and 15 blocks.

Woll will start against the Devils on Tuesday.

Woll has regularly given his team a chance to win whenever he tends the twine and will return to the crease on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils. That said, the 27-year-old Woll is coming off one of his weaker performances of the season, allowing five goals on 31 shots (.839 SV%), but still salvaged a 7-5 victory over the Ottawa Senators. Woll has a 2.73 GAA and .913 SV% in 12 games this season (7-4-1). The Maple Leafs enter Tuesday's action as +117 home underdogs against a Devils team on a three-game losing streak (0-2-1).

The 28-year-old Matthews, a two-time 100-point player, is having a highly publicized sluggish season, scoring 27 points (15G / 12A) through 33 games.

Quillan has been recalled from the Marlies (AHL).

Quillan is an undrafted 23-year-old forward that has been recalled from the Marlies (AHL) for precautionary reasons, as the Maple Leafs are down a forward due to a Dakota Joshua (upper body) injury. Quillan has seen success at the AHL level this season, scoring 23 points (5G / 18A) in 26 games.

Jacob Quillan
Matthews (lower body) is a game-time decision vs. New Jersey on Tuesday.

The Maple Leafs are nursing several key injuries and hope that Matthews will not be added to the growing list of absentees on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils, as he enters the contest as a game-time decision. The 28-year-old Matthews, a two-time 100-point player, is having a highly publicized sluggish season, scoring 27 points (15G / 12A) through 33 games.

Hildeby will start vs. Detroit on Sunday.

On the tail end of a back-to-back, the Maple Leafs will turn to Hildeby on Sunday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 24-year-old Hildeby was excellent as Toronto’s de facto starting goalie while Joseph Woll was injured, posting a 1.05 GAA and a .958 SV% in six outings (3-1-2), but has struggled since, losing three straight (0-3-0) while posting a 4.70 GAA and .928 SV%.

Woll will start vs. Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

The Maple Leafs' management hopes yesterday’s firing of assistant coach Marc Savard will spark the struggling team as they turn to Woll to tend the twine on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Disappointing season aside, the Maple Leafs have consistently received adequate netminding from Woll, who has a 2.46 GAA and .921 SV% in 10 games (5-4-1). Unfortunately for Woll, the Maple Leafs have the third-worst offense in the league since the beginning of December (2.22 GF/GP).

Joseph Woll
Tanev (undisclosed) will return to Toronto's lineup vs. Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Tanev has not played since November 1st, but will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Regularly one of the league's best shot blocked, Tanev will provide needed stability on a Maple Leafs' blueline that has been plagued with injuries.
