Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube is sticking to his plan of how to split the goaltending duties between Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll, naming his starter for Tuesday's game in Boston.
The Leafs returned from the 4 Nations Face-Off break with back-to-back games this past weekend against the Carolina Hurricanes and Chicago Blackhawks. What was supposed to be comfortable win after going up 4-0 on Carolina turned into a nail-biter of a win, but Sunday's game was a more comfortable 5-2 victory.
After Monday's day off, the Leafs took to the ice for their morning skate ahead of Tuesday's game against the Boston Bruins where it was confirmed that Stolarz would be getting the start.
The former second-round pick signed a two-year deal with the Leafs in the off-season, days after winning the Stanley Cup with the Florida Panthers, and has been worth every cent of his $2.5M cap hit.
In 19 games, the 31-year-old is 11-5-2 with a 2.13 GAA and ridiculous .928 save percentage, placing him second and first among goalies that have played at least 15 games.
