Woll stopped 25 shots Wednesday in the Maple Leafs' 4-3 victory over the Panthers in Game 2 of their second-round series.
EDGE Analysis
Making his first start of the playoffs in place of Anthony Stolarz (upper body), Woll didn't make any glaring errors and got enough offense from Toronto's skaters to get into the win column. The 26-year-old netminder has given up six goals on 48 shots since replacing Stolarz between the pipes midway through Game 1, and Woll might need to be a little bit sharper Friday when the series shifts to Florida for Game 3. The Leafs have yet to rule out Stolarz for Game 4 on Sunday, however.

Woll will defend the home crease during Wednesday's Game 2 against the Panthers, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woll entered Monday's Game 1 in relief after Anthony Stolarz sustained an upper-body injury. Woll guided the Maple Leafs to a win and will draw the start Wednesday since Stolarz will be unavailable. Woll has picked up wins in each of his last three outings, posting a 2.82 GAA and .912 save percentage during that time. Matt Murray will serve as the backup in Game 2.

Woll picked up the win Monday in the Maple Leafs' 5-4 victory over the Panthers in Game 1 of their second-round series. He stopped 17 of 20 shots after replacing Anthony Stolarz (upper body) midway through the second period.
EDGE Analysis
Woll entered the game with Toronto ahead 4-1 for his first action this postseason, but he had to withstand a furious third-period comeback attempt from Florida before Matthew Knies potted the winner with four minutes left in regulation. Stolarz was hospitalized after the game and could be facing a lengthy absence, so the Leafs' playoff hopes may rest on Woll's shoulders from here on out. The 26-year-old netminder finished the regular season with a 27-14-1 record, 2.73 GAA and .909 save percentage in 42 outings.

Woll (illness) was back on the ice ahead of Tuesday's Game 5 matchup with Ottawa, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woll has yet to appear in a postseason game and is unlikely to do so Tuesday, given how well Anthony Stolarz has performed as the starter. As such, Woll figures to serve as the No. 2 option for Game 5. Still, if called upon, Woll would be a decent option, having gone 27-14-1 in 42 regular-season appearances this year with a 2.73 GAA.

Woll is dealing with an illness that kept him out of Monday's practice session, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woll has been stuck behind Anthony Stolarz during the postseason -- a situation that is unlikely to change any time soon, considering Stolarz is 3-1 in four postseason outings with a 2.29 GAA. If Woll isn't healthy enough to serve as the backup for Game 5 on Tuesday, Artur Akhtyamov could be tasked with being the No. 2 behind Stolarz.

Woll made 31 saves in a 4-3 overtime win over Detroit on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Leafs tied the game late in the third with Woll pulled for the 6-on-5 advantage, and then clinched the victory 56 seconds into OT. Woll finished the season with three wins in his last four games, and he's 7-3-1 since the beginning of March. He's likely on the Leafs bench to start the First Round, but it's clear he can perform if his team needs him.

Woll will play in goal at home versus the Red Wings on Thursday, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woll will get the nod in the regular-season finale. He's gone just 2-2-1 with a 2.82 GAA and a .912 save percentage over his last five games. That run of play suggests Anthony Stolarz may get the first crack at the starting job during the playoffs.

Woll stopped 25 of 26 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Woll was solid between the pipes and got back to winning ways after dropping his previous start against the Panthers on April 8. Woll has made 10 appearances since the beginning of March, and while he's won six of those starts, his overall numbers aren't eye-popping by any means. He's gone 6-3-1 with a 3.01 GAA and a .906 save percentage in that span. It's unclear if he'll see action in Toronto's final two games of the regular season, but it's likely he'll start at least one of those contests.

Woll will patrol the road crease versus Carolina on Sunday, per Luke Fox of Sportsnet.
EDGE Analysis
Woll will get the second half of Toronto's back-to-back after Anthony Stolarz plays in Saturday's home game versus Montreal. The 26-year-old Woll has been superb in his last two appearances, going 1-0-1 while allowing only four goals on 67 shots. He is 25-14-1 with a 2.76 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 40 appearances this season. Carolina has registered 3.22 goals per game in 2024-25, the ninth-best mark in the NHL.

Woll made 34 saves in a 3-1 loss to Florida on Tuesday. He allowed two goals.
EDGE Analysis
He played such a strong game. Woll didn't get a lot of help from his mates, and Morgan Rielly even made an uncharacteristic giveaway that gifted the Panthers their second goal. Woll has just one win in his last four starts (1--1-2. But toss out two games in there where he allowed four nine goals total, and he has allowed just 10 goals in the five games that bookend those two stinkers (4-1-0). Woll and Anthony Stolarz head into toward the postseason with one of the best overall records in the NHL. We don't know which goalie will get the heavier load, or if they'll continue to split games. The Leafs are in good hands either way.
