Maple Leafs Loan Joseph Woll to Marlies for Conditioning Stint

The assignment gives the club a chance to assess his game shape.

Overview

  • Woll spoke publicly for the first time since his leave, thanked the organization and media, and asked that attention stay on hockey without disclosing details of his absence.
  • He has been skating with the team since October 24, and head coach Craig Berube said he is in a good spot without setting a firm NHL return date.
  • Toronto confirmed the conditioning loan to the AHL Marlies, with the timing and number of games flexible due to the Marlies’ road trip.
  • Anthony Stolarz is projected to start against the Bruins, with Cayden Primeau expected to back up and potentially start the following game.
  • The move comes as the Leafs seek steadier goaltending after ranking near the bottom of the league in 5-on-5 save percentage, and Woll is entering year one of a three-year deal after a .909 save percentage last season.
