Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Takes loss against Florida
Rotowire
Woll stopped 19 of 23 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers. The last two goals were empty-netters.
With lineups resembling that of a preseason game, Woll was unable to get much help from his teammates. This was his fourth loss in a row (0-3-1), and he's allowed 19 goals on 118 shots in that span. Woll is now at 15-16-7 with a 3.34 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 39 appearances. It'll be tough sledding the rest of the way, as the Maple Leafs' home finale is Monday versus the Stars followed by Wednesday's season-ending matchup in Ottawa. It's possible Woll and Artur Akhtyamov will split those games, but neither goalie makes for an appealing streaming option at this time of year.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Fills in after Stolarz's injury
Rotowire
Woll stopped 14 of 17 shots in relief of Anthony Stolarz (lower body) in Wednesday's 4-0 loss to the Capitals. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Woll played nearly the whole game after Stolarz went down just 2:34 into the first period. The 27-year-old Woll suffered his third consecutive loss, allowing 15 goals on 95 shots during this span. He's at a 15-15-7 record with a 3.31 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 38 appearances this season. Artur Akhtyamov will get the nod in Thursday's road matchup versus the Islanders, but it's possible Woll sees the bulk of the workload for the Maple Leafs' last three games.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Tough outing Saturday
Rotowire
Woll made 33 saves in a 7-6 overtime loss to the Kings on Saturday.
Woll struggled in Saturday's loss. He was deep in his net and down too early way too many times. The Kings beat him on their first three shots of the third period in a span of 1:36. Woll has seen a lot of pucks lately, including at least 40 in four of his last eight starts while going 2-3-3 in that stretch. He may have just 15 wins this season, but his talent has delivered him a save percentage (.902), which is above the league average (.896). It's an impressive feat despite the struggles of his supporting cast.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Protecting road paint
Rotowire
Woll will start in Saturday's road clash against the Kings, per David Alter of The Hockey News.
Woll has been dealt a tough hand as of late. He has made 30-plus saves in each of his last eight appearances, but he has only two wins in that span. Overall, the 27-year-old netminder has a 15-14-6 record, a 3.21 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 36 outings this season. He'll draw a favorable matchup against the Kings, who rank 29th in the NHL with 2.62 goals per game this season. Woll profiles as a solid fantasy option in most league formats for Saturday's clash.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Left alone on island by teammates
Rotowire
Woll made 33 saves in a 5-1 loss to St. Louis on Saturday.
The Maple Leafs were outshot 38-13 in the contest, and the score could have been much worse if not for a solid display by Woll. His .904 save percentage is well above the NHL average of .897, but deploying him in fantasy right now is a dangerous choice with the team disintegrating in front of him.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Tending twine Saturday
Rotowire
Woll will defend the road net against St. Louis on Saturday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Woll is coming off a 40-save performance in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers. The 27-year-old from Dardenne Prairie, Missouri, has a 15-13-6 record this campaign with two shutouts, a 3.16 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 35 appearances.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Stays busy in win
Rotowire
Woll stopped 40 of 43 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.
Woll ended his 0-2-2 skid with this performance. He's faced at least 30 shots in seven straight outings, going 2-3-2 in that span, so he's not getting much help from his defense. The 27-year-old netminder is up to 15-13-6 with a 3.16 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 35 outings this season. Woll has seen the majority of the playing time over Anthony Stolarz lately. However, it's unclear if the Maple Leafs will balance the playing time between them once the team is mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. Toronto begins a road trip in St. Louis on Saturday.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Set to face Ottawa
Rotowire
Woll is expected to start on the road against Ottawa on Saturday, per the NHL media site.
Woll stopped 32 of 36 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss to Carolina on Friday, so he wasn't expected to play between the pipes again Saturday. However, Anthony Stolarz left the pregame warmup early, per David Alter of The Hockey News, so Woll is being asked to start on no rest. Ottawa is 12-3-2 while averaging 3.65 goals per game across its past 17 matches, so the Senators are likely to be a challenging adversary for Woll.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Falls to Canes in OT
Rotowire
Woll stopped 32 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to Carolina.
Toronto was outshot by the visitors 36-26 in the contest. However, Woll only really wobbled in the second period, as he got beaten three times on 17 shots -- once on a power play, once shorthanded, and once on a penalty shot by Eric Robinson. There wasn't much the 27-year-old Woll could do on Alexander Nikishin's laser off the post in OT. Woll has just one win in eight outings since the Olympic break, going 1-5-2 with a 3.70 GAA and .893 save percentage.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Fails to get offensive support
Rotowire
Woll made 31 saves in a 3-1 loss to the Islanders on Tuesday.
Woll surrendered two power-play goals in the first period, and the only offensive support he got came from the fourth line. That's a hard place to be. Woll continues to demonstrate that he's an above-average NHL starter, but the Leafs have skidded into the ditch this season. He's 1-5-1 in seven outings since the Olympic break with an .893 save percentage in that span.

The Islanders have netted 11 goals over their last four games, a stretch in which they are 3-1-0.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Needs teammates to step up
Rotowire
Woll made 30 saves in 3-2 shootout loss to Buffalo on Saturday.
Woll was a difference-maker Saturday, but his teammates mustered just 18 shots on the Sabres. The Leafs are in a spiral, and their ability to score will take a hit due to Auston Matthews' (knee) season-ending injury. Woll seems to have the upper hand on the team's No. 1 job for now, but he has allowed 21 goals and put up a 1-4-1 record since the Olympic break.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Helps team to first win since break
Rotowire
Woll made 36 saves in a 6-4 win over the Ducks on Thursday.
It was Woll's first win since the Olympic break (1-4-0) and Toronto's, too -- they are 1-5-2 in that span. Things won't get easy any time soon. Captain Auston Matthews (knee) was knocked out of the game on a dirty hit by Radko Gudas, and his two-way skill will be sorely missed by his netminders.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Waiting on first win after break
Rotowire
Woll made 30 saves in a 3-1 loss to Montreal on Tuesday. He allowed two goals.
Both goals went between Woll's pads, which must frustrate the netminder and his coaches. It might be timing or bad stick positioning, or it might be a technical flaw in Woll's technique. All are easily correctable. Woll is 0-4-0 with 15 goals allowed in four starts since the break. You need to weigh alternate options for your squad until he and the Leafs right the proverbial ship.
