"Woll has missed the Leafs' last four games after suffering an injury during the Dec. 4 game against the Carolna Hurricanes. It was the 27-year-old's second prolonged absence already this season after he didn't start the season on the roster due to taking a leave of absence to deal with a personal issue. He missed the first 18 games of the season."
"In the eight games that Woll has appeared in this season, it's been good though. Woll has earned a .923 save percentage and a 2.44 goals against average -- in seven of his eight starts, he has managed to register a quality start, according to Hockey-Reference. It's just about being able to stay in the crease, not what he does in it for Woll."
"Thankfully, while both Stolarz and Woll were missing from the lineup, young netminder Dennis Hildeby has more than stepped up to keep the Leafs afloat. The 24-year-old came in for relief of Woll during that game against the Hurricanes and stopped all nine of the shots he faced to keep the 5-1 win in-tact. Hildeby then started all four games that Woll was absent for and in those games earned a .92"
Joseph Woll was activated off injured reserve and is scheduled to start against the Chicago Blackhawks Tuesday, while Artur Akhtyamov was reassigned to the Toronto Marlies (AHL). Woll missed four games after a Dec. 4 injury and earlier missed the first 18 games of the season while on a leave of absence for a personal issue. In eight appearances this season Woll has posted a .923 save percentage and a 2.44 goals-against average, recording quality starts in seven of eight starts. Anthony Stolarz remains on long-term injured reserve. Dennis Hildeby provided key relief, stopping nine shots in relief and starting four games during Woll's absence.
