Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Three wins in last four games
Rotowire
Woll made 31 saves in a 4-3 overtime win over Detroit on Thursday.
The Leafs tied the game late in the third with Woll pulled for the 6-on-5 advantage, and they clinched the victory 56 seconds into OT. Woll finished the regular season with three wins in his last four games, and he's 7-3-1 since the beginning of March. He'll likely be on the bench to begin Toronto's first-round series against Ottawa, but it's clear he can perform if his team needs him.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Protecting net Thursday
Rotowire
Woll will play in goal at home versus the Red Wings on Thursday, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.
Woll will get the nod in the regular-season finale. He's gone just 2-2-1 with a 2.82 GAA and a .912 save percentage over his last five games. That run of play suggests Anthony Stolarz may get the first crack at the starting job during the playoffs.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Tending twine in Sunrise
Rotowire
Woll will protect the road crease against the Panthers on Tuesday, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.
Woll will make his first start since March 30, when he stopped 29 of 31 shots in a 3-2 win over Anaheim. The Missouri native had a solid 5-2-1 record over eight appearances in March, but he posted a subpar .894 save percentage and a 3.41 GAA during that time. Florida is getting a few players back from injury Tuesday, so Woll will have his hands full in this Atlantic Division matchup.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Holds on for win
Rotowire
Woll stopped 28 of 30 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
Woll blew a two-goal lead in this contest, but he made Steven Lorentz's tally at 11:35 of the third period stick as the game-winner for Toronto. Woll went 5-2-1 in March despite allowing three or more goals in five of his eight appearances. The 26-year-old netminder is up to 25-13-1 with a 2.78 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 39 appearances this season. He's been splitting the workload fairly evenly with Anthony Stolarz, though it's a risky matchup for either goalie when the Maple Leafs host the Panthers on Wednesday.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Woll will protect the road goal versus the Predators on Saturday, per Maple Leaf Hotstove.
Woll is 4-1-0 over five games in March. While he has a 3.23 GAA and an .899 save percentage over that span, fantasy managers chasing wins won't mind his recent performance. He's got a good chance to keep things going in the right direction against a Nashville team that has gone 0-3-1 over the last four games, scoring just three times in that span.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Stellar in win
Rotowire
Woll stopped 38 of 39 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Avalanche.
Woll limited the damage to a Valeri Nichushkin power-play tally in the second period. This was Woll's fifth win in six starts, and it was the third time in that span he's been called on to make 30-plus saves. The 26-year-old netminder is up to 24-12-0 with a 2.70 GAA and a .908 save percentage across 36 appearances this season. He's started back-to-back games for the first time since Feb. 1 and 4, so Woll's recent strong play may have allowed him to claw back some work from Anthony Stolarz, who will likely get the nod Thursday on the road versus the Rangers.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: In goal Wednesday
Rotowire
Woll will get the starting nod at home versus the Avalanche on Wednesday, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.
Woll will take the first game of the Leafs' back-to-back, which likely means Anthony Stolarz will be between the pipes on the road versus the Rangers on Thursday. The 26-year-old Woll has started just five of Toronto's last 11 outings but is sporting a 4-1-0 record over that stretch. While Stolarz should continue to see the bulk of the workload, Woll could play himself into a larger share of the crease heading into the final weeks of the season.

Woll will be between the pipes in Monday's home game versus Calgary, according to Mark Masters of TSN.
Woll has banked wins in three of his last four outings (3-1-0) despite permitting 13 goals on 101 shots. He has a 22-12-0 record with one shutout, a 2.78 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 34 appearances this season. Calgary ranks 32nd in the league with 2.55 goals per game in 2024-25.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Defending crease Monday
Rotowire
Woll will guard the road goal against Utah on Monday, per Luke Fox of Sportsnet.

He has a 21-12-0 record with one shutout, a 2.78 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 33 appearances this season. Utah is tied for 19th in the league with 2.83 goals per game in 2024-25.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Chased early Wednesday
Rotowire
Woll allowed three goals on seven shots before he was replaced by Anthony Stolarz in the first period of Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Woll won despite allowing five goals on 34 shots versus the Penguins on Sunday, but he wasn't allowed to play through his struggles a second time. The 26-year-old was stuck with the loss in the end after being responsible for Jack Eichel's power-play goal that led to his early exit. Woll is down to 21-12-0 with a 2.78 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 33 appearances this season. The Maple Leafs' next matchup is another tough one as they visit the Avalanche on Saturday.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Victorious in high-scoring affair
Rotowire
Woll made 29 saves on 34 shots in Sunday's 6-5 overtime win over the Penguins.
In a matchup that did not feature a lot of strong defensive play, Woll helped his team squeak out a win in his first start since Feb. 23. The 26-year-old allowed four goals at even strength and one on the power play. Woll owns a 21-11-0 record, .907 save percentage and 2.70 GAA through 32 appearances this season. Sunday's game was the first half of a back-to-back for Toronto, so Anthony Stolarz will likely be between the home pipes versus San Jose on Monday.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Little trouble against Chicago
Rotowire
Woll stopped 25 of 27 shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
He would have had a shutout if periods were 19 minutes long -- both of the Blackhawks' goals came in the final minute of a frame. Woll has been just fine lately, giving up either two or three goals in nine straight outings while winning six of them. He's now 20-11-0 with a 2.63 GAA and a .910 save percentage across 31 appearances this season. Woll and Anthony Stolarz figure to share the workload the rest of the way, though both have proven themselves capable as starters when the other has been out at times this season. The Maple Leafs visit the Bruins on Tuesday.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Another solid outing
Rotowire
Woll made 23 saves in a 6-3 win over Calgary on Tuesday.
Woll played another strong game, especially with the Leafs racking up five minor penalties by the 5:06 mark of the second period. The Flames scored twice with the man advantage, but it's hard to fault him for those. Woll is one win from reaching 20 this season, and his 2.66 GAA and .909 save percentage are strong marks. He's already played a lot of hockey this season relative to his short NCAA seasons, so it will be good to get Anthony Stolarz (knee) back on the bench to keep the pairing as strong as possible.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Expected to start Saturday
Rotowire
Woll is set to start on the road against Edmonton on Saturday, per David Alter of The Hockey News.
Woll has suffered back-to-back losses, but that's due to a lack of goal support rather than struggles on his end -- he stopped 43 of 47 shots (.915 save percentage) across those two starts. The 26-year-old is 17-10-0 with a 2.64 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 27 outings this campaign. Edmonton ranks sixth in goals per game with 3.29.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Suffers second straight loss
Rotowire
Woll allowed two goals on 24 shots in a 3-1 defeat to Minnesota on Wednesday.
Woll has given up two goals in each of his last two outings while suffering losses to the Wild and Senators. Despite the recent skid, the 26-year-old netminder is putting together decent numbers this year, posting a 17-10-0 record to go with a 2.64 GAA, .908 save percentage and one shutout.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Done in by fluky goal
Rotowire
Woll made 21 saves in a 2-1 loss to Ottawa on Saturday.
The winning goal was a bit of a fluke. It ricocheted off a defender's stick, another stick and a kneecap, then went over Woll's shoulder and barely made it over the line. He has performed well in Anthony Stolarz's (knee) absence and was especially strong Saturday when most of his team was unnoticeable on the ice. Woll is now 17-8-0 with one shutout, a 2.69 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 24 starts. He will continue to carry the bulk of the starts until Stolarz returns.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Third straight win
Rotowire
Woll made 27 saves on 30 shots in a 5-3 win over Tampa Bay on Monday.
It was a career-high 24th start for the season. Woll has now put up three straight wins with three goals allowed in each of those games. He has re-established his cadence after a bit of a soft spot a week ago, and he's 17-8-0 with a 2.67 GAA and .907 save percentage. Anthony Stolarz (knee) was once again on the ice Monday prior to Toronto's morning skate, but he's nowhere near a return. It's Woll's net. You can count on him.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Rebounds from shaky first period
Rotowire
Woll stopped 32 of 35 shots in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canadiens.
Woll allowed 12 goals over three starts entering Saturday's contest, and it looked like he could get the hook early against the Canadiens. The Leafs trailed 3-0 after the first period, but Woll bounced back, and so did his teammates due to a season-high seven markers. Woll has held up as a replacement for the injured Anthony Stolarz (knee), but the usage has taken its toll as the netminder approaches a career-high in starts. Toronto returns to action Monday against division rival Tampa Bay in a home matchup.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Slated to start Thursday
Rotowire
Woll went through his regular game-day routine and is expected to be between the home pipes versus New Jersey on Thursday, according to David Alter of The Hockey News.
Woll has struggled in his last two starts, allowing nine goals on only 56 shots (.839 save percentage) en route to back-to-back losses. Overall, the netminder is 14-8-0 with one shutout, a 2.65 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 22 starts this season. The Devils are averaging 3.11 goals per game during the 2024-25 campaign, which ranks 11th in the NHL.
