Unexpected Toronto Maple Leafs injury forces AHL goalie call-up ahead of game against Montreal, per Friedman
The Toronto Maple Leafs have started their game day off on the wrong foot, just hours before facing the Montreal Canadiens.
If an insider like Friedman is reporting this, it's quite serious, and yes, it's a big concern for Maple Leafs fans at the moment.
Concerns with Joseph Woll for Toronto ahead of facing the Montreal Canadiens
This is the story of the day in Toronto:
The Leafs are in a particular situation because they have an excellent young goalie in Joseph Woll, but he has unfortunately had consistent health issues.
Update
After a scare the worst has now been confirmed for the Maple Leafs ahead of their tilt against the Canadiens.
Toronto Journalist Luke Fox has just confirmed Joseph Woll is injured and will miss tonight's game against the Canadiens.
A healthy Joseph Woll could change everything for Toronto, and we wish them the best, but let's say it's off to a poor start.
Woll, 26 years old, is a 6'3» and 202-pound goalie drafted by the Leafs in the third round of the 2016 draft (62nd overall).
In his NHL career, here are his impressive stats:
Goals-against average of 2.76 - save percentage of 0.912 (0.932 during the 2022-2023 season) - with a record of 21 wins and 13 losses.
In the playoffs, he's been even stronger, becoming a crucial asset for Toronto, but he needs to stay healthy.
