NHL Insider’s Update on Joseph Woll a Concerning One for the Maple Leafs <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tA new update regarding Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll<\/a> is a concerning one for the team with the start of the regular season right around the corner.<\/p>\n

Of course, for a situation like this, there was no immediate timeline for a return, which didn’t bode too well for Woll’s hopes of starting the season on the active roster with the start of the regular season set to open up in a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

While updates might be few and far between in this case, we were given one earlier today with NHL insider Chris Johnston delivering the news.<\/p>\n

It’s not a case where it’s like, ‘okay, I’m going to be gone for X amount of days and then I’ll be back’. I don’t think it’s clear yet how long this absence is going to be… How long that is remains to he seen.<\/p>\n

Of course, the main focus here is for Woll to tend to whatever the personal issue is, regardless of the timeline. As Johnston mentions, it’s not a situation that has a hard deadline or that can be quantified in days or weeks.<\/p>\n

With his looming absence potentially stretching into the regular season, the Maple Leafs will lean on Anthony Stolarz<\/a> until his return. Dennis Hildeby<\/a> would be the prime suspect to play the backup position, as he did last year when Woll was forced to miss the start of the season due to injury.<\/p>\n

Woll is expected to once again play a major role for the Maple Leafs in 2025-26 as he settles into one of the better goaltending tandems around the league with Stolarz, as long as whatever the issue is doesn’t cause him to miss too much time.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old had a career-year last season with 42 appearances, 41 starts, a 27-14-1 record with a 2.73 GAA and a .909 SV%. More of the same should be on the horizon as the Leafs look to improve on last year’s second round exit.<\/p>\n
