This will presumably be Stolarz's last start of the regular season, as Joseph Woll will probably get the nod Thursday against the Red Wings.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Keeps rolling Saturday
Rotowire
Stolarz posted a 27-save shutout in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jackets.
Stolarz earned his fifth straight win and also notched the 10th shutout of his career. Two of those shutouts have been this season. The 31-year-old is sharing the crease with Joseph Woll, and that arrangement seems to be benefiting both netminders to keep them fresh heading into the playoffs. Stolarz is now at an 18-8-3 record with a 2.26 GAA and a .922 save percentage over 31 contests. The Maple Leafs have a challenging back-to-back to begin next week, as they'll visit the Panthers on Tuesday and the Lightning on Wednesday. Stolarz is currently lined up to face the Lightning, though it's unclear if head coach Craig Berube will alter the goalie rotation to let Stolarz face his former team.

Rotowire
Stolarz will get the starting nod at home versus the Panthers on Wednesday, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: In goal Thursday
Rotowire
Stolarz will protect the road goal versus the Rangers on Thursday, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.
Stolarz is set to start for the first time in three games, as Joseph Woll's strong play has earned him more time while Stolarz has struggled to a record of 0-3-1 with 15 goals allowed over five appearances in March. A strong showing Thursday could help Stolarz reclaim his No. 1 status in goal. The Rangers have won just two of their last six games, scoring a total of 13 goals in that span.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Losing streak in March
Rotowire
Stolarz made 22 saves in a 3-2 loss to the Panthers on Thursday.
The game was tight -- the Panthers' third goal didn't come until 17:13 of the second period. Stolarz played well, but the Cats dominated on the power play, scoring twice. The Ides of March have come early to his game. Stolarz is 0-2-1 in three starts (four appearances), with 12 goals allowed and an .876 save percentage in that span. He'll be fine. It's good for the Leafs that he's getting this out of his system now, but that doesn't help his fantasy managers.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Tough night in offensive game
Rotowire
Stolarz made 27 saves in a 7-4 loss to Colorado on Saturday. He allowed five goals.
The game was actually quite close. Neither team really played defense, so both Stolarz and Mackenzie Blackwood faced some really tough shots. The game came down to mistakes, and the Leafs made a couple more than the Avs. Stolarz has lost his last two starts, one in overtime. However, he's still 13-6-3 with a 2.33 GAA and a .921 save percentage in 23 starts. He'll be fine.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Makes relief appearance
Rotowire
Stolarz stopped 16 of 18 shots in relief of Joseph Woll in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Woll didn't get through all of the first period after allowed three goals on seven shots, and Stolarz was brought in to settle things down. Stolarz gave up both of his goals in the second period, and while he was sharp after that, the damage was too much for the Maple Leafs to come back from. Stolarz's record didn't take a hit -- he remains at 13-5-3 with a 2.21 GAA and a .925 save percentage over 23 appearances. He's been the better of Toronto's two goalies lately, but it's likely they continue to share the crease down the stretch unless the team is put in a position where riding the hot hand would be required. The Maple Leafs' road trip continues Saturday in Colorado.
