Woll will start vs. New York on Saturday.
Matthews (upper-body) is expected to be out on Saturday vs. New York and is questionable to return for Monday's game.
Boyd has been recalled from Iowa (AHL).
Boyd has 298 games of NHL experience, scoring 118 points (47G / 71A), but has only played two games this season. That said, 31-year-old has been lighting it up in the AHL, scoring 18 points (3G / 15A) in 17 games with Iowa.
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.
Line Change
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.

Myers will take a seat on Wednesday as Conor Timmins draws back into the Leafs lineup. Myers has no goals and one assist in seven games this season.
Goalie Start
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.
Myers is expected to draw back into the lineup on Sunday.
Robertson is expected to draw back into the lineup on Sunday.

Hildeby has been recalled from the Toronto Marlies (AHL).
Stolarz suffered a lower-body injury in Thursday's game against the Anaheim Ducks and did not return. There has not been a concrete update on Stolarz yet but Hildeby's call-up likely indicates that he will not be ready for the Maple Leafs' upcoming game on Saturday. The 23-year-old Hildeby has a 2.73 GAA and .897 SV% in six games (2-2-2) with the Toronto Marlies (AHL) this season.
