After a stellar performance Sunday against Nashville in which he stopped 23 of 25 shots in a 3-2 win, Joseph Woll was loaned to the Marlies ahead of Leafs practice this morning.

The move comes as a precursor for the return of Ilya Samsonov, who was absent from the last 3 games of the Leafs roadtrip last week as his wife gave birth to their first child. In four games with the Leafs, Woll is 3-1 with a 2.03 GAA and a sparkling .934 save percentage.

While he likely won't see playoff action for the Leafs unless injury strikes, Woll will resume his role as the starter for the Marlies after posting ridiculous numbers this season. With Woll signed for another two seasons, and needing to clear waivers next year, with how good his play has been this season, he could force the Leafs' hand in the off-season to make him the backup to either Samsonov or Matt Murray.
