Toronto Maple Leafs News

Benoit will draw out of the lineup on Thursday in favour of Philippe Myers. Benoit has zero goals and three assists in 41 games this season.

Dennis Hildeby was between the pipes in Toronto's previous game, a one-sided 6-1 loss to the Utah Mammoth, snapping their 10-game point streak (8-0-2), but they will revert to Woll on Thursday, as he looks to continue his recent surge of dominance. The 27-year-old Woll has helped his team record a point in eight straight games (7-0-1), posting a 2.53 GAA and .914 SV%. He has been solid all season, boasting a 2.54 GAA and .918 SV% in 18 games (11-4-2). The Maple Leafs enter Thursday's contest as +117 road underdogs against a Vegas Golden Knights team that defeated the Los Angeles Kings 3-2 in overtime last night.

Robertson suffered a lower-body injury early in Monday's game against the Colorado Avalanche, exiting the contest after just two shifts. The 24-year-old has 22 points (10G / 12A) in 43 games this season and will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Jarnkrok will slot in for Nick Robertson, who is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Jarnkrok has appeared in 27 games this season, logging five goals and zero assists.

Robertson suffered a lower-body injury early in Monday's game against the Colorado Avalanche, exiting the contest after just two shifts. The 24-year-old has 22 points (10G / 12A) in 43 games this season.

The Maple Leafs will hand Hildeby his 12th start of the season when they travel to Utah on Tuesday. Hildeby turned in another fantastic effort in his last start, allowing just a single goal on 23 shots in a 2-1 win in Philadelphia on Thursday. The 24-year-old netminder is easily in the midst of the best season of his young career, posting a .914 SV% across 16 appearances. Hildeby and the Maple Leafs enter action on Tuesday at +125 on the money line.

Robertson suffered a lower-body injury early in Monday's game against the Colorado Avalanche, exiting the contest after just two shifts. The 24-year-old Robertson was pacing for career-best offensive totals before his injury, but an update has not yet been provided on the severity. He has 22 points (10G / 12A) in 43 games this season.

Woll's play over his past five games has shown a wide contrast: allowing one or fewer goals three times, including two shutouts, while allowing four or more in the other two, yet he continues to get the result, going 4-0-1. That said, the 27-year-old Woll has been highly reliable tending the twine for the Maple Leafs this season and has helped his team record a point in 10 of his last 11 games (9-1-1) while posting a solid 2.24 GAA and .922 SV%. Still, the Maple Leafs enter Monday's contest as significant +202 road underdogs against the league-leading Colorado Avalanche, who have outscored their opposition 12-2 in their last two games (2-0-0).

Stolarz has been out since November 11th, but is getting close to a return to the Maple Leafs crease and has a chance to return before the Olympic break according to Head Coach Craig Berube. Joseph Woll and Dennis Hildeby have performed well in his absence, but the team will likely send Hildeby back to the Marlies (AHL) when Stolarz is cleared to play.

Mermis has not played in over a month, and he will head to the Marlies for a conditioning assignment. The 32-year-old defenseman is averaging 13:02 time-on-ice and has one goal in 11 gams with the Maple Leafs this season.

Stolarz has been out since November 11th, but is getting close to a return to the Maple Leafs crease. Joseph Woll and Dennis Hildeby have performed well in his absence, falling just 2.85 goals per game, the eighth-best mark in the NHL since November 12th.

McCabe has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury, but was back on the ice for Saturday's morning skate. He did not take part in line rushes, which suggests he won't play, but he's still considered a game-time decision.

Nylander will return after missing the last six games, replacing Calle Jarnkrok. Nylander will be back on the Maple Leafs' second line with John Tavares and Matias Maccelli and on PP2. Nylander returns after posting just nine points (3G / 6A) in 12 games in December.

Woll stopped 31 of 32 shots in the Maple Leafs win over the Panthers on Tuesday. After getting Thursday night off in Philadelphia, Woll is expected to be back in net Saturday vs. the Canucks. It's a great matchup for Woll, with Vancouver coming in on a five-game losing streak and Toronto sitting at -153 home favourites. Don't hesitate to play Woll on the busy 14-game slate.

Quillan played three games for the Maple Leafs this season, but will return to the Marlies (AHL). The undrafted 23-year-old forward has 23 points (5G / 18A) in 26 games with the Marlies this season.
