With Ilya Samsonov's return to the Toronto Maple Leafs, many fans are curious when Joseph Woll could potentially make his return as well. Woll has been out with a high ankle sprain since December 8th, which sparked some concern for Leaf fans who were worried that Martin Jones wouldn't be up to the task of the number 1 spot. While he proved he certainly was, Leaf fans are still anxious to see Woll get healthy and return to game play.
Now, Chris Johnston has just given a massive update on Woll's injury and why there is no distinct timeline for his return.
Panic set in during the first half of the season with regards to the goaltending position, after Ilya Samsonov had one of the worst starts to a season in his career and was sent to the minors, and then Woll went down with his injury, it was well reported that the Leafs were looking at the goaltending market.
Now, they can be happy that they didn't let the panic get the best of them, as it appears Samsonov has gotten some of his game back, and Martin Jones is worthy of holding it down when Samsonov can't. When Woll returns, it may just be the case that the Leafs have an extra goaltender to move for some more necessary assets.
