Maple Leafs’ Stolarz out for Game 2, Woll to start vs. Panthers

For the first time these playoffs, the Toronto Maple Leafs have a new starting goalie.

Anthony Stolarz was ruled out of Wednesday’s Game 2 against the Florida Panthers and will be replaced by Joseph Woll, head coach Craig Berube told reporters.

Veteran Matt Murray will serve as Woll’s backup.

Stolarz left Game 1 in the second period after taking a Sam Bennett forearm to the head and was seen vomiting on the bench during a break in action. He was later transported to the hospital but returned to the team Tuesday.

Bennett was not disciplined for the play.

Berube said there is no timeline on Stolarz’s recovery, but added he is “doing well.” The team has still not revealed the nature of his injury.

The coach also said he gave Murray the backup nod over 23-year-old Dennis Hildeby due to his experience, having won back-to-back Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Stolarz, 31, had stolen the Toronto net in these playoffs, working all six games in the Maple Leafs’ Round 1 win over the Ottawa Senators. The former Panthers backstop posted a .901 save percentage and 2.22 goals-against average in the opening-round series win.

In the regular season, Stolarz appeared in 34 games for the Maple Leafs, finishing his debut year in the blue and white with a 21-8-3 record, .926 save percentage and 2.14 GAA.

He had made eight saves on nine shots before leaving on Monday.

Woll, 26, came on in relief and stopped 17 of 20 shots as the Maple Leafs held on for a 5-4 victory.

He won Games 5 and 6 of last spring’s first-round loss to the Boston Bruins, but was unable to go in the finale because of a back injury.

Woll played long stretches this season, including when Stolarz was out long-term with a knee issue. He also entered Toronto’s second-round defeat to Florida in 2023, winning Game 4 to stave off elimination before a 40-save performance in a 3-2 overtime loss that sent the Panthers to the Eastern Conference final.

Murray, 30, appeared in two games for the Maple Leafs this season, recording an .879 save percentage and 3.54 GAA. In 21 games with the AHL’s Marlies, Murray posted a .934 save percentage and 1.72 GAA.

Live coverage of Maple Leafs-Panthers Game 2 begins Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+.
