With Joseph Woll (personal) away from the team, Toronto's crease should almost exclusively belong to Stolarz, starting with their season-opening matchup on Wednesday against the Montreal Canadiens. The 31-year-old Stolarz was excellent when healthy in 2024-25, posting a superb 2.14 GAA, .926 SV%, and four shutouts in 34 appearances (21-8-3), but his season was derailed due to injuries. Toronto enters its matchup on Wednesday as -167 home favorites against Montreal.

Toronto enters its matchup on Wednesday as -167 home favorites against Montreal.

Toronto has locked up its starting goaltender for four more seasons after they announced Sunday that they have signed Anthony Stolarz to a four-year extension worth $3.75 million AAV ($15M total). The 31-year-old is entering his 9th NHL season and 2nd in Toronto after setting career-highs in games started (33), wins (21), SV% (.926 SV%), and shutouts (4) last season.

Stolarz left Game 1 with a concussion but will make an unexpected return to the Maple Leafs' lineup he backs up Joseph Woll for Game 7 vs Florida. The towering netminder has an impressive 2.19 GAA during the playoffs to go alongside his 4-2-0 record and .901 SV%.

Stolarz (concussion) has practiced on his own the past several days but has not yet taken part in a full team practice. He is unlikely to be ready for Game 6 on Friday against the Florida Panthers.

Stolarz took some shots from the goalie coach but left the ice before the main group began practice. There is still no timeline on when Stolarz will return to the ice but his presence at practice is encouraging. The Maple Leafs play Game 5 in Toronto on Wednesday.

Stolarz has been sidelined since suffering a concussion in Game 1 and is making progress. Given that he has not skated yet, he will likely remain sidelined for at least one more game. Joseph Woll has been between the pipes in the interim.

Stolarz was unable to play in Toronto's Game 2 victory over Florida due to a concussion and announced Thursday that he will not initially travel for Game 3, making him doubtful for Friday. The 31-year-old had won four of his first seven starts in the playoffs (left one for injury) and is hopeful to return before the end of the series. Joseph Woll will continue to hold down the fort in his absence.

After a collision with Sam Bennett, Stolarz was pulled from Game 1 due to concussion protocol and will remain out for Game 2 on Wednesday. The 31-year-old is hopeful to return by the end of the series but will have Matt Murray fill in his role in the meantime. Across 7 games played in the playoffs thus far, he has a solid 2.19 GAA and .901 SV%.

Stolarz likely suffered a concussion in Game 1, after taking two headshots. The first was on a shot off the mask and the second was an elbow from Sam Bennett. Stolarz reportedly left the arena on a stretcher and was taken to the hospital for evaluation.

Stolarz was solid for the Maple Leafs in their round-one victory over the Ottawa Senators. He will return to the crease for Game 1 of Round 2 on Monday against his former team, the Florida Panthers. The 31-year-old Stolarz had a couple of shaky outings in round one but settled into a 2.21 GAA and .901 SV% in six contests (4-2). Despite having home-ice advantage and playing Game 1 in Toronto, the Maple Leafs enter Monday's contest as +112 underdogs against a Panthers team that beat them in five games in the second round in the 2022-23 playoffs.
