Anthony Stolarz Gets Major Injury Update Months After Infamous Concussion

Anthony Stolarz was brutally injured by Sam Bennett during Game 1 of the Maple Leafs' second-round playoff series against the Florida Panthers.

While Bennett maintains it was an accident, there are certainly fans out there who blame the Panthers forward for the Leafs' misfortunes in that series.

Stolarz had to miss the rest of the postseason, and there were all sorts of reports out there about just how bad the concussion was, and the mere fact that it forced the goalie to go to the hospital.

Training camp is still over a month away, but that is not stopping Stolarz from putting in the work and proving that he can still play at an extremely high level.

In the video clips below, Stolarz can be seen doing some goaltending drills. He was doing some work at the top of his crease and taking some hard shots in the process.

Overall, these clips are encouraging, especially since we didn't see him do this kind of work during his immediate return to the ice back in May.

Stolarz is in an interesting position. He is going into the final season of his Leafs contract, and he is looking to secure either an extension or a big contract in 2026.

The only way that is going to happen is if Stolarz can cement himself as the team's number one netminder during the 2025-26 season.

After posting a goals-against average of 2.14 and a save percentage of .926 in 2025, it is clear that the goaltender is on the right track to becoming a star.

Only time will tell whether or not he can keep this up and truly show himself to be among the league's best.
