Joseph Woll Takes Important Step Towards Return For the Maple Leafs
The Maple Leafs provide a significant update on injured netminder Joseph Woll, who is inching ever closer to a return to his season debut.
Good news emerged from practice today as the Maple Leafs' starting goalie, Joseph Woll, participated in a full session, indicating he is close to returning to action.
The Maple Leafs have managed well in Woll's absence this season, posting a 3-1-0 record with solid performances from Anthony Stolarz and rookie goalie Dennis Hildeby.
Woll spoke briefly with the media after practice and addressed his health in detail today, noting that he is starting to feel better and is approaching game readiness.
As Terry Koshan reported on X:
Many Maple Leafs fans were disappointed to learn that Woll would miss the season opener against the Montreal Canadiens due to the injury. With concerns over his health ever prevalent, it was a bit alarming to see the young netminder injured before even playing a game.
Looking ahead, Woll aims to bounce back this season, demonstrating strong performances, as he often has when healthy. There is considerable speculation that had Woll been fit during last season's playoff series against the Boston Bruins, the Maple Leafs might have advanced, given his impressive play in the series.
The Maple Leafs remain hopeful that Woll's health will hold up this time around, and look forward to having their number one netminder back.
