"Joseph Woll did not have a good time Monday night as the Minnesota Wild strolled into the Toronto Maple Leafs' building and earned a decisive 6-3 win. The Leafs netminder experienced a thrashing right in front of him and had to eventually be pulled from the crease. But, he's being given another chance. Ahead of Wednesday night's matchup against the Detroit Red Wings, it was confirmed that Woll will once again get the start against a very good team."
"But, it wasn't all his fault as the Leafs allowed 29 shots against in just 40 minutes, forcing Woll to attempt to stand on his head and eventually fail. Hildeby came in and made all nine saves he needed to, so the juxtaposition between the two netminders and their most recent performances caused some to at least think that the younger goalie could get this start."
Joseph Woll suffered a rough outing Monday as the Minnesota Wild beat Toronto 6-3 and he was pulled after the Wild made it 5-1 in the second period. The Leafs allowed 29 shots in 40 minutes, placing heavy pressure on Woll before Dennis Hildeby relieved him and stopped nine shots. Head coach Berube chose experience and confirmed Woll will start Wednesday against the Atlantic-leading Detroit Red Wings. Anthony Stolarz remains out while Hildeby's strong play complicates decisions, but Woll retains the most secure spot in the tandem. The start offers Woll a chance to rebuild confidence and reestablish reliability.
