Toronto Maple Leafs News

Woll (ankle) was a full participant in Toronto's practice for the first time since his injury in December.

Woll has not played since December 7th due to an ankle injury, but his presence at practice is an encouraging sign for the Maple Leafs. When the 25-year-old returns to the lineup, he will be looking to build off his strong start to the season and add to his 8-5-1 record, 2.80 GAA, and .916 SV%.

Benoit has been recalled from the Toronto Marlies (AHL).

The Maple Leafs do not appear to have anyone noticeably injured so Beniot's recall may be due to precautionary reasons but nonetheless, he finds himself back up with the Maple Leafs after the All-Star break. The 25-year-old signed a one-year minimum contract in the offseason but has been useful for Toronto, with two points (1G/1A), 34 SOG, 33 PIMs and a +2 plus/minus through 35 games this season.

Lettieri (lower body) has been activated from the Injured Reserve and is expected back on Wednesday.

Stolarz is starting Tuesday vs. Philadelphia.

Stolarz, who started the last game before the All-Star break, will start again for the Panthers in their return to the ice on Tuesday. Stolarz has been tremendous lately, winning two straight and allowing three total goals while saving 47 of 50 shots (.940 SV%). The Panthers, winners of four straight, are sizeable -204 home favourites against a Philadelphia Flyers club that has dropped five straight (0-5-0).

Stolarz will start Monday in Nashville.

Stolarz allowed five goals in his last start, a disappointing 5-4 loss to his former club, the Anaheim Ducks, but has otherwise been solid when called upon this season, posting a 2.22 GAA and .912 SV% in 13 games (6-4-2). The Panthers, losers of four straight, are -126 road favourites against a Nashville Predators team that has won three of their last five (3-2-0).
