Joseph Woll will start Tuesday vs. Washington. Woll is quickly making his case to be the more reliable option in net for the Maple Leafs as he will start on Tuesday for the second time in their last four contests. Woll came in to relieve Ilya Samsonov on Saturday and saved all 29 shots he faced to help the Maple Leafs come from behind and win 4-3 in overtime against the Tampa Bay Lightning. In two games (1-1-0), Woll has an impressive 1.69 GAA and .949 SV%, completely outperforming his counterpart, Samsonov, who has an ugly 4.34 GAA and .831 SV% through four games (2-1-0). Samsonov and the Leafs will be facing off against a Washington Capitals that has been miserable offensively to start the season, averaging a league-worst 1.25 goals per game this season (1-2-1).Source: Mark Masters

Darcy Kuemper will start Tuesday vs. Toronto. Kuemper will start on Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs and hope to improve on his lacklustre start to the season. The Capitals have been very poor in general (1-2-1), receiving minimal goal support (1.25 GF/GP), paralleled by Kuemper's less-than-ideal 3.56 GAA and .887 SV%. The Maple Leafs have had their struggles as well (3-2-0), but scoring goals has not been one of them, as they enter Tuesday averaging 3.80 goals per game. Kuemper and the Capitals are +154 home underdogs against the Maple Leafs.Source: Tarik El-Bashir
