Woll stayed down after what appeared to be a non-contact injury and had trouble putting weight on his left leg as he exited the ice. Martin Jones entered the game in relief and saw the Maple Leafs through to a 4-3 victory over the Senators. We can expect to receive an update on the status of Woll in the coming days.
Woll will make his fifth consecutive start after dropping his previous contest in a heartbreaking late overtime defeat to Boston where he stopped 33 of 37 shots (.892 SV%). The 25-year-old is having an impressive breakout season in Toronto, with his 8-5-1 record, .915 SV%, and 2.82 GAA. He heads to Ottawa to take on the Senators, who have won two straight games and are sixth in the NHL in goals per game (3.45).
