Stolarz was out due to a nerve issue and will need a couple more practices before he can return.

Stolarz has been out since November 11th, but is getting close to a return to the Maple Leafs crease and has a chance to return before the Olympic break according to Head Coach Craig Berube. Joseph Woll and Dennis Hildeby have performed well in his absence, but the team will likely send Hildeby back to the Marlies (AHL) when Stolarz is cleared to play. Stolarz said the he likely needs a "couple more practices" before he is ready to play.

Nylander (lower-body) is being evaluated on Friday and is doubtful for Saturday's game vs. Winnipeg.

Nylander has already missed 10 games this season and reaggravated a previous injury in Thursday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights, exiting the game early in the first period. The 29-year-old Nylander has been outstanding when healthy, scoring 48 points (17G / 31A) in 37 games. He scored two points (1G / 1A) on Thursday in just 2:17 time-on-ice.

Woll will start in Vegas on Thursday.

Dennis Hildeby was between the pipes in Toronto's previous game, a one-sided 6-1 loss to the Utah Mammoth, snapping their 10-game point streak (8-0-2), but they will revert to Woll on Thursday, as he looks to continue his recent surge of dominance. The 27-year-old Woll has helped his team record a point in eight straight games (7-0-1), posting a 2.53 GAA and .914 SV%. He has been solid all season, boasting a 2.54 GAA and .918 SV% in 18 games (11-4-2). The Maple Leafs enter Thursday's contest as +117 road underdogs against a Vegas Golden Knights team that defeated the Los Angeles Kings 3-2 in overtime last night.

Robertson (lower-body) will return to Toronto's lineup in Vegas on Thursday.

Robertson suffered a lower-body injury early in Monday's game against the Colorado Avalanche, exiting the contest after just two shifts. The 24-year-old has 22 points (10G / 12A) in 43 games this season and will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Hildeby will start in Utah on Tuesday.

The Maple Leafs will hand Hildeby his 12th start of the season when they travel to Utah on Tuesday. Hildeby turned in another fantastic effort in his last start, allowing just a single goal on 23 shots in a 2-1 win in Philadelphia on Thursday. The 24-year-old netminder is easily in the midst of the best season of his young career, posting a .914 SV% across 16 appearances. Hildeby and the Maple Leafs enter action on Tuesday at +125 on the money line.

Robertson left Toronto’s game on Monday vs. Colorado with a lower-body injury and did not return.

Robertson suffered a lower-body injury early in Monday's game against the Colorado Avalanche, exiting the contest after just two shifts. The 24-year-old Robertson was pacing for career-best offensive totals before his injury, but an update has not yet been provided on the severity. He has 22 points (10G / 12A) in 43 games this season.

Woll will start in Colorado on Monday.

Woll's play over his past five games has shown a wide contrast: allowing one or fewer goals three times, including two shutouts, while allowing four or more in the other two, yet he continues to get the result, going 4-0-1. That said, the 27-year-old Woll has been highly reliable tending the twine for the Maple Leafs this season and has helped his team record a point in 10 of his last 11 games (9-1-1) while posting a solid 2.24 GAA and .922 SV%. Still, the Maple Leafs enter Monday's contest as significant +202 road underdogs against the league-leading Colorado Avalanche, who have outscored their opposition 12-2 in their last two games (2-0-0).
