Joseph Woll gets the start against the Florida Panthers
The Toronto Maple Leafs are gearing up to play the Florida Panthers tomorrow and their starting goaltender is now confirmed to be rookie Joseph Woll.
With only two games left in the season, the two largest storylines for the Toronto Maple Leafs right now are whether or not Auston Matthews will hit 70 goals and who the Leafs will play in the first round of the upcoming playoffs.
It seems like it will either be the Florida Panthers or the Boston Bruins. Of the Leafs' two remaining games, one comes against the Panthers which happens tomorrow night. Sheldon Keefe has confirmed that rookie goaltender Joseph Woll will get the call in net.
Via Sheldon Keefe:
�Max Domi won't play Tuesday and likely out Wednesday
�Bobby McMann out the final two games
�Joseph Woll starts Tuesday/TBD Wednesday
� Calle Järnkrok is «not ready to play» and uncertain for Game 1 The 2016 3rd-round pick has gotten in 24 games so far this season struggling with some injury setbacks throughout. He has been solid when called upon however posting a .907 sv% and a 2.88 GAA.
It is unknown who the Leafs' game 1 starter will be for the playoffs but Woll's performance versus the Panthers could solidify either him or Ilya Samsonov as the man in net come the start of the playoffs.
