Woll (personal) is progressing but still does not have a timetable to return to Toronto.

Woll has been away from the Maple Leafs for the past two weeks, tending to personal matters, and has no timeline to return. Woll started in exactly half of Toronto's games last season, posting a 2.73 GAA and .909 SV%, and was likely poised to see similar totals in 2025-26. The Maple Leafs claimed Cayden Primeau off waivers yesterday, but the crease should belong almost exclusively to Anthony Stolarz until Woll returns.

Bonk is expected to remain out for approximately two weeks with a lower-body injury.

Bonk's hopes of cracking Philadelphia's lineup out of training camp took another hit on Wednesday after the team announced he would be out for two more weeks due to a lower-body injury. The 20-year-old defenseman was Philadelphia's 2023 1st round pick (22nd overall) and is coming off a strong, 11-goal, 40-point campaign with London (OHL) in 2024-25. He is expected to start the season in Lehigh Valley (AHL) when he is healthy enough to return.

Benoit (upper-body) has yet to return to the ice with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Benoit has yet to return to Toronto's training camp after it was announced that the defenseman was still potentially dealing with an upper-body injury that lingered from last season. Toronto is hopeful to have its sixth defenseman back before its opening game on October 8th vs Montreal, after he appeared in all but four games in 2024-25, putting up a goal, 10 points, and a +12 plus/minus.

Before his injury last season, he had four goals, 19 points and 100 SOG across 63 games played.
