"The 27-year-old is no stranger to injuries, but after he missed the first month of the season due to "personal reasons" it felt like he was going to be the team's number-one goalie for the foreseeable future. Anthony Stolarz is also out with an injury and doesn't look like he's returning soon, so Woll's recent play gave the team hope for a push back into the playoff race and beyond."
"When Woll left the game on Thursday night, the broadcast showed him shaking his right leg, indicating a potential groin injury, but we won't read too much into it until we get the results. For those optimists out there, it's quite possible that the team pulled Woll due to precautionary reasons as they were up 4-1 heading into the third period."
Joseph Woll left the game at intermission with a lower-body injury after stopping 22 of 23 shots. Woll missed the first month of the season for personal reasons and has a history of groin, back, shoulder and high-ankle injuries over the past three years. Anthony Stolarz remains out with an injury, reducing organizational depth behind Woll. Woll has a .924 save percentage and 2.53 GAA across seven games this season. Woll has never played more than 42 regular-season games, creating reliability concerns when injured. Broadcast footage showed him shaking his right leg, suggesting a potential groin issue. The team may have pulled him as a precaution while leading 4-1.
