Matthews (upper-body) will miss a second-straight game on Monday vs. Winnipeg.

Matthews will be out until after the holiday break, nursing his upper-body injury for a second straight game. The 27-year-old Matthews has had an injury-riddled 2024-25 campaign and is pacing for his lowest offensive output since his rookie season, with 23 points (11G / 22A) in 24 games.

Woll will start vs. Winnipeg on Monday.

The Maple Leafs will roll with Woll between the pipes on Monday afternoon against the Winnipeg Jets. The 26-year-old Woll has a solid 2.50 GAA and .912 SV% in 14 games (9-5-0) but has allowed three or more goals in four of his last five (2-3-0), posting a .896 SV%. The Maple Leafs enter Monday's contest as slight -107 home favorites against the Jets.

Hildeby has been assigned to the Toronto Marlies (AHL).

Hildeby was recalled last week when Anthony Stolarz suffered a lower-body injury. Stolarz remains sidelined but Hildeby has been assigned to the Marlies (AHL), swapping placed with Matt Murray. The 23-year-old Hildeby played for the Maple Leafs on Sunday, saving 24 of 27 shots (.889 SV%) in a 5-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres.

Roy (upper-body) is out vs. Vancouver on Thursday and conisdered day-to-day.

Roy is battling an upper-body injury and will not play on Thursday against the Vancouver Canucks. The 27-year-old Roy has 13 points (6G / 7A) in 31 games this season. Ivan Barbashev (upper body) will also be out of the lineup as Cole Schwindt and Tanner Laczynski will draw in as their replacements.

Nicolas Roy
Thrun is expected to draw back into San Jose's lineup on Thursday vs. Colorado.

Timothy Liljegren will be a healthy scratch on Thursday against the Colorado Avalanche, allowing Thrun to play his first game since December 10th. The 23-year-old Thrun is averaging 16:04 time-on-ice and has eight points (0G / 8A) in 27 games this season.

Woll will start in Dallas on Wednesday.

With Anthony Stolarz (lower body) expected to miss several weeks, the Maple Leafs crease will belong with Woll. The 26-year-old Woll boasts a terrific 2.24 GAA and .918 SV% in 12 games this season (8-4-0). In his young career, Woll has only faced the Stars once but was excellent in that outing last season, recording a victory and saving 31 of 32 shots (.969 SV%). The Maple Leafs enter Wednesday's contest as +121 road underdogs against a Stars club riding a two-game winning streak.

Stolarz is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks after undergoing a procedure to remove a loose body in his knee.

Stolarz was able to play the first period of last Thursday night's game but did not join his teammates for the start of the second due to a lower-body injury. The 30-year-old netminder's absence from the team will be a tough loss for a club that has relied on him, posting a stellar 2.15 GAA and .927 SV% in 17 games (9-5-2). Joseph Woll will likely see the majority of the action between the pipes while Stolarz is out of the lineup, with Dennis Hildeby serving as his backup.
