A nice surprise at Leafs practice leads to exciting starting goalie projection

The Toronto Maple Leafs had the day off yesterday, but returned to the ice this morning for a full skate ahead of their meeting with the Arizona Coyotes tonight at Scotiabank Arena. Ilya Samsonov, Martin Jones and Joseph Woll all took part in practice which left many wondering who would be the starter tonight.
Based on their exits at practice, and Woll being the first off the ice, he is slated to make his return between the pipes. Woll has been out since suffering a high ankle sprain against the Ottawa Senators on December 7th. Last weekend he backstopped the Toronto Marlies to a victory over the Laval Rocket and looked good enough for the Leafs to recall him from his conditioning stint a few days later.
Woll had been playing the best hockey of his young career at the time of his injury and will look to pick up where he left off tonight against a slumping Coyotes team who have lost 13 straight.
In 15 games for the Leafs this season, Woll has posted an 8-5-1 record with a .916 save percentage and 2.80GAA.
