Toronto Maple Leafs goaltenders Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll have a tall task ahead of them, and today, they were given an extremely important assignment.
Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll have a very difficult path forward right now, especially since the Leafs are out of a playoff spot.
The hope right now is that the Leafs will be able to turn some heads in the final 27 games of the season and make a miraculous comeback.
That is only possible if Joseph Woll and Anthony Stolarz can break out of their funk and steal some games for this mediocre Leafs team.
On Monday night, the Leafs play the Calgary Flames before going up against the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. From there, the team is on break for the Olympics until February 25th.
Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll get their assignments
Going into tonight's game against the Flames, fans were curious about whether or not the Leafs would play Stolarz or Woll.
In the end, the Leafs have chosen Woll for tonight. Meanwhile, Stolarz will get to play against the Oilers on Tuesday before the Olympics.
This gives Stolarz an extra day of practice and preparation to put himself in the right headspace for a big game that has playoff implications.
Of course, the Leafs need some wins, and Stolarz has yet to win since returning from his injury that kept him out for two months.
It is a tough spot for the Maple Leafs to be in, and there is no denying that getting Stolarz back to last year's form would be huge for this team.
Only time will tell whether or not the Leafs can get back on track, and show fans that they do, in fact, mean business right now.
