Woll sustained a back injury in Game 6 of the first round against the Bruins that resulted in him missing Game 7 on Saturday, ESPN's Kristen Shilton reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woll was riding a two-game winning streak when he suffered his back injury. There's been no indication that the 25-year-old backstop won't be ready for the start of training camp in the fall, which could see him challenging for the No. 1 role heading into 2024-25.

EDGE Analysis

Woll stopped 22 of 23 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Bruins in Game 6.
EDGE Analysis
Woll has won back-to-back starts, stopping 49 of 51 shots in that span. The 25-year-old nearly had his first postseason shutout Thursday, but a Morgan Geekie goal in the final second spoiled it. Woll is almost certain to start Saturday's Game 7 in Boston after pulling the Maple Leafs back from the brink following Ilya Samsonov's poor start to the series.

Woll was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate, according to Patrick Friolet of RDS,ca, indicating he will defend the home crease versus Boston on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Woll has been sensational versus the Bruins in the postseason, giving up one goal on 28 shots in a 2-1 overtime win Tuesday in Game 5. He also stopped all five shots he faced in Game 4 after replacing Ilya Samsonov to start the third period. Woll has seen action in just 36 regular-season games in his NHL career, but he looked like a seasoned veteran while prevailing over the Bruins on Tuesday.

Woll made 27 saves Tuesday in a 2-1 overtime win over the Bruins in Game 5 of the Maple Leafs' first-round series.
EDGE Analysis
Facing elimination, the Leafs turned to Woll in net with Ilya Samsonov having looked a bit shaky in the first four games of the series, and the 25-year-old netminder was brilliant after getting beaten by Trent Frederic midway through the first period. It was Woll's first win since April 9, but he'll likely remain between the pipes when the series shifts back to Toronto for Game 6 on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis
Woll will make his first start this postseason after Ilya Samsonov went 1-3 with a 3.31 GAA and an .883 save percentage in the opening four contests of the series. The 25-year-old Woll stopped all five shots he faced during Saturday's relief appearance in Game 4. He posted a mark of 0-2-1 versus the Bruins during the 2023-24 regular season, surrendering 12 goals on 89 shots. The Maple Leafs need a win in Game 5 to force Game 6 back in Toronto on Thursday.

Woll stopped all five shots he faced in relief of Ilya Samsonov in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Woll played the third period and prevented the score from getting any worse. This was his first playoff action in 2024 after he got into four games during last year's postseason. Woll went 12-11-1 with a 2.93 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 25 regular-season appearances this year. The Maple Leafs have not announced their starting goalie for Game 5 on Tuesday yet, but it wouldn't be a shock if Woll got the nod since Samsonov has struggled against the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis
Woll was decent in his last start Tuesday versus New Jersey, turning aside 18 of 20 shots en route to a 5-2 win. He'll try to pick up his 13th victory of the season in a tough road matchup with a hot Florida squad that's won three straight contests.

Woll made 18 saves in a 5-2 win over New Jersey on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Woll's game remains a work in progress since his return from injury. Ilya Samsonov has been strong and is the top dog heading into the postseason. Woll remains the Leafs future and could be in the net during the playoffs if the team of Samsonov hit a speed wobble.
