Former Maple Leafs Goalie Gets Into Bizarre Goalie Scrap

As the Toronto Maple Leafs face goaltending health issues due to an injury to Anthony Stolarz, a former Leafs netminder is making headlines for a very different reason.

Keith Petruzzelli, who briefly played for the Maple Leafs organization, found himself in a goalie fight while playing for the Reading Royals in the ECHL this week. His opponent was David Fessenden, the goalie for the Adirondack Thunder.

As per to Nick Barden on X:

In the fight, Petruzzelli was thoroughly outmatched, leading many to believe that he might be better off sticking to stopping pucks rather than throwing punches.

After Toronto declined to offer him a qualifying deal, Petruzzelli signed with the Philadelphia Flyers organization. Having spent three years with the Leafs, Petruzzelli is now starting for the Reading Royals of the ECHL, where he has a 4-8-3 record, a 0.899 save percentage, and a 3.06 goals against average.
