Woll has not played since suffering a lower-body injury late in a 5-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on December 4th. He was given a roughly one-week recovery timeline, which seems to hold true after returning to practice on Wednesday.

Joseph Woll (lower body) is nearing a return, but is not eligible to be activated from Injured Reserve yet, leaving the Maple Leafs' crease to Hildeby on Thursday against the San Jose Sharks. The 24-year-old Hildeby has been sensational while filling in as the team's de facto starting goalie and is coming off his first career shutout, a 29-save performance in a 2-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. He has a 2.15 GAA and .936 SV% in nine appearances this season (2-2-2). The Maple Leafs enter the action on Thursday as sizable -193 home favorites against a Sharks team that has scored fewer than two goals in three of their last four games (1-3-0).
Rielly was battling an illness, but will be ready to suit up when the Maple Leafs return to action on Thursday against the San Jose Sharks.

The 31-year-old Rielly is putting together an excellent season, with 22 points (5G / 17A) in 28 games.

He will be eligible to return to the lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Oilers.

Calle Jarnkrok will draw back into Toronto's lineup on Monday against the Tampa Bay Lightning, sending Robertson to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old Robertson has 12 points (6G / 6A) in 27 games and is pacing for career-best offensive totals, but has still lacked the consistency the Maple Leafs have hoped for. He has one point (1G / 0A) in his last nine games.

The 24-year-old Hildeby has an otherworldly .963 SV%, saving 78 of 81 shots, across his last four appearances (1-0-1). He has a 2.51 GAA and .927 SV% in eight appearances this season (1-2-2). The Maple Leafs enter Monday's contest as +106 road underdogs against a Lightning team on a three-game losing skid (0-3-0).
