"The shot didn't seem to initially injure Stolarz. But he skated off to the bench and was removed for precautionary measures. At this point, there is no clarity on what the extent of the injury to Stolarz could be."
"With about a dozen games or so left in the season, it might be best for the Leafs to just shut down Stolarz. Unless Saturday night's incident was minor, the Leafs should just avoid playing him for the rest of the year."
"Still, you have to wonder if this isn't the time to turn the crease over to Dennis Hildeby. The 24-year-old has played well this season. So, why not give him a chance to show what he can do?"
Anthony Stolarz, the starting goalie for the Toronto Maple Leafs, was injured during warm-ups and taken to a local hospital. Joseph Woll replaced him in a game the Leafs lost 5-2 to the Ottawa Senators. The injury adds to a challenging season for the team, which has already seen Stolarz miss significant time. There are suggestions to shut down Stolarz for the remainder of the season, while Dennis Hildeby could be given a chance in goal. An update indicates Stolarz's situation may not be as serious as initially feared.
