"Stolarz remained down on the ice for a minute, and eventually left with the assistance of a trainer. He was in visible discomfort while skating off the ice."
"Stolarz previously suffered an upper-body injury in November, which kept him out of the lineup for almost two months. The veteran goaltender told reporters he was dealing with a nerve issue."
"It may be wise for the Maple Leafs to shut Stolarz down for the remainder of the season, as the team is already eliminated from playoff contention."
"As the Maple Leafs enter a period of transition, it's possible that Stolarz could be moved in the offseason, while Woll and Hildeby lead the team into the future."
Anthony Stolarz exited the game against the Washington Capitals due to an apparent injury, replaced by Joseph Woll. Stolarz showed visible discomfort after making a save and was assisted off the ice. Previously, he dealt with an upper-body injury and a throat injury from a puck. With the Maple Leafs eliminated from playoff contention, shutting down Stolarz for the season may be prudent. Woll is expected to start against the New York Islanders, with Dennis Hildeby and Artur Akhtyamov as potential options for the future.
