The Toronto Maple Leafs are playing against the Nashville Predators tonight, and Craig Berube has made his starting goalie intentions known.
Joseph Woll and Dennis Hildeby have been having a solid season with the Toronto Maple Leafs, even if the team can't seem to pull off many wins.
Going into this weekend, the Leafs have a back-to-back with the Nashville Predators and the Dallas Stars, which has led to some uncomfortable questions for this team.
There have been some debates about who should start against which team, especially with the Pittsburgh Penguins coming up on Tuesday.
However, at morning skate, head coach Craig Berube offered up a definitive response on what the plans are for the weekend.
Joseph Woll starts against the Nashville Predators
Tonight, Joseph Woll is getting the call, which means he will surely be in the net on Tuesday against the Penguins, which is for the best.
Interestingly, Berube noted that the Maple Leafs will not be revealing its lineup until game time, as there are some changes to make.
The Leafs are coming off a terrible loss to the Washington Capitals, and with his job on the line, Berube needs to do something fast.
Dennis Hildeby gets the Dallas Stars
On Sunday, the Leafs will be throwing Hildeby into the fire against Dallas Stars, who are among the better teams in the Western Conference.
All this to say, this weekend is not going to be easy for the Maple Leafs, and there is a realistic scenario in which they lose both of these matches.
The Leafs need a win tonight, and for Berube, this might be his most important stretch, otherwise, he could be done for.
