"With both Toronto Maple Leafs goaltenders, Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll, currently sidelined due to ongoing injury concerns, Toronto's crease has been thrown into uncertainty. The setbacks, first to Stolarz and most recently to Woll, have amplified the importance of the Leafs' top goaltending prospect, Dennis Hildeby. Hildeby has taken center stage after last season's stellar Maple Leafs tandem was put on pause thanks to injuries."
"While Woll's lower-body injury is not expected to keep him out of the lineup for long, this is not the first time that the Maple Leafs have had to fret over their goaltending situation. In fact, with the Woll-Stolarz tandem, it's become an expected pattern. In 2024-25, the two Leafs' goalies alternated as the team's starter, partly because each spent significant time off the ice due to injury."
Both Toronto Maple Leafs goaltenders Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll are sidelined with injuries, creating uncertainty in the crease. Dennis Hildeby, the team's top goaltending prospect, has been elevated from expected AHL development with the Marlies into a prominent NHL role. Hildeby has performed well, showing steady development and growing reliability. The Leafs' goaltending depth is fragile due to recurring lower-body injuries in Woll and Stolarz, who have alternated starting roles and set personal career-high games recently. General manager Brad Treliving signed Stolarz to a four-year extension in the offseason, but depth concerns persist.
