Woll will start vs. Winnipeg on Thursday.

The Maple Leafs have had an up-and-down season, but have regularly received consistent netminding from Woll, who has a 2.51 GAA and .920 SV% in 13 games (8-4-1). The Maple Leafs enter Thursday's contest as -130 home favorites against a plummeting Winnipeg Jets team on a seven-game losing streak (0-4-3).

Woll will start vs. Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

The Maple Leafs' management hopes yesterday’s firing of assistant coach Marc Savard will spark the struggling team as they turn to Woll to tend the twine on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Disappointing season aside, the Maple Leafs have consistently received adequate netminding from Woll, who has a 2.46 GAA and .921 SV% in 10 games (5-4-1). Unfortunately for Woll, the Maple Leafs have the third-worst offense in the league since the beginning of December (2.22 GF/GP).

Woll will start vs. Chicago on Tuesday.

Woll has not played since suffering a lower-body injury late in a 5-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on December 4th, but will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Chicago Blackhawks. Woll has been excellent when healthy this season, but that has unfortunately provided a very small sample size, posting a 2.44 GAA and .923 SV% in eight games (4-3-1). With Woll's injury history, the Maple Leafs may take the cautious route and alternate starts with Dennis Hildeby, who has played well for them this season. The Maple Leafs enter Tuesday's contest as sizable -196 home favorites against a Blackhawks team that has scored just six goals in its last five games (1-4-0).

Woll (lower-body) is a possibility to return vs. Chicago on Tuesday.

Woll has not played since suffering a lower-body injury late in a 5-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on December 4th. He was given a roughly one-week recovery timeline, which would hold true if he can return to the crease on Tuesday against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Woll (lower-body) will remain out vs. Edmonton on Saturday despite skating on Friday.

Woll has not played since suffering a lower-body injury late in a 5-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on December 4th. He was given a roughly one-week recovery timeline, which seems to hold true after returning to practice on Wednesday. The recent success of Dennis Hildeby between the pipes for the Maple Leafs gives the team a bit more leeway in easing Woll back into the lineup, as he will not play on Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers.
