Craig Berube reveals exactly when Joseph Woll will return to the Maple Leafs

Joseph Woll got injured against the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night, and it has certainly caused a few problems for the Maple Leafs.

With Anthony Stolarz injured, Dennis Hildeby is going to have to be the starting goalie against the Montreal Canadiens, and there have been rumblings about how long this setup will go on for.

Things went from bad to worse for the Leafs on Saturday morning as Woll was placed on the injured reserve while the team called up prospect goalie Artur Akhtyamov.

Today, at morning skate, Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube spoke to the media, and it was here where he offered an update on Woll.

According to reporter Jesse Blake, the head coach actually offered a concrete timeline on when Joseph Woll will make his way back to the roster.

Berube said that it should be a week, and they don't expect him to be out for very long. He tweaked something, and that is about it.

The Maple Leafs play tonight against the Canadiens, and they play the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday night. Dennis Hildeby is expected to play both of those games.

Interestingly enough, the next game after that is on Thursday, which is the one-week point of Woll's injury. With that in mind, the goaltender might only miss a total of two games.

Of course, this is the most optimistic scenario. Regardless, this is good news for the Leafs, and they shouldn't feel so bad about their situation.

Moving forward, the Leafs will be eager to get back both Woll and Stolarz, who were one of the best tandems in the league last season.
