"Woll played the first 40 minutes of the Maple Leafs' most recent game against the Carolina Hurricanes but appeared to tweak something on a save near the end of the second period. He was seen flexing his left leg and ended up leaving the game with what the team called a lower-body injury. He had 22 saves on 23 shots when he left and was replaced by Dennis Hildeby, who stopped all nine shots he faced to help lock up a 5-1 win over the Hurricanes."
"It's unknown how long Woll will be sidelined for, but it would be a big loss if it's a substantial amount of time. Woll missed the first month and a half of the season to deal with a personal issue and came back at a time when the Leafs' crease was in dire straits. In eight games since his return, he has a record of 4-3-1 with a goals-against average (GAA) of 2.30 and a save percentage (SV%) of .928."
Joseph Woll was placed on injured reserve retroactive to December 4 and Artur Akhtyamov was recalled from the AHL's Toronto Marlies. Woll left the most recent game after tweaking something on a save late in the second period and suffered a lower-body injury after making 22 saves on 23 shots. Dennis Hildeby replaced him and stopped nine shots in a 5-1 win over Carolina. Woll missed the first month and a half of the season for a personal issue and is 4-3-1 with a 2.30 GAA and .928 SV% in eight games since returning. Hildeby has a .919 SV% and 2.86 GAA. Akhtyamov is 7-5-1 with a 3.04 GAA and .896 SV% in the AHL and has yet to start an NHL game. The Leafs host the Montreal Canadiens and seek a third straight win.
