Impact Stolarz has been outstanding to start the season, going 2-1-0 while allowing only five goals on 84 shots (.940 save percentage). Dennis Hildeby is expected to back up Stolarz as Joseph Woll (lower body) is still not ready to return to the lineup. Stolarz will have a tough assignment against the Rangers, who have found the back of the net 20 times in four games.

Gives up two goals Wednesday Stolarz allowed two goals on 34 shots in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Kings.
Impact Stolarz has enjoyed an excellent start to the season, giving up two or fewer goals in his three appearances, posting a save percentage of at least .910 in every contest and winning his last two starts. He should remain in the crease for Saturday's contest against the Rangers.

Starting Wednesday's game Stolarz was the first goalie off Wednesday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports, indicating he'll be in the home goal against the Kings.
Impact Stolarz picked up his first win with his new team Saturday against Pittsburgh, turning aside 21 of 21 shots in his second start of the year. The 30-year-old has established himself as the Maple Leafs' No. 1 goaltender early in the season, but Joseph Woll (lower body) was on the ice for the team's morning skate Wednesday, so he could push for playing time soon.

Marner helps Toronto beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-2 in the Maple Leafs' home opener
Mitch Marner had a goal and an assist, and Toronto beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-2 in the Maple Leafs’ home openerOCTOBER 13 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
First win in new uniform Stolarz made 21 saves in a 4-2 win over the Penguins on Saturday.
Impact It was Stolarz's first win as a Leaf. He couldn't be faulted on either goal. The first one was a power-play slapper through a sea of legs in the first, and the second was a rocket high from the slot through another screen. Stolarz is providing the Leafs strong and confident netminding early this season, and he's cementing his role as a possible 1A/1B with Joseph Woll (undisclosed) on the shelf.

In goal Saturday Stolarz will start at home versus the Penguins on Saturday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Impact Stolarz was sharp in his season debut, stopping 26 of 27 shots in a 1-0 loss to the Canadiens on Wednesday. The 30-year-old netminder is filling in as the No. 1 goalie while Joseph Woll (lower body) is out. If Stolarz continues to play well, he could turn Toronto's crease into a timeshare once Woll returns.

Gets no help in loss Stolarz made 26 saves in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Cabadiens.
Impact The 30-year-old played well in his Maple Leafs debut -- the only puck to get past him came on a Cole Caufield one-timer on the power play -- but Sam Montembeault stood on his head in the other crease. Stolarz was expected to back up Joseph Woll (lower body) this season, but given the latter's sketchy injury history and the fact that he's already on the shelf, that's still likely to lead to a career-high workload in 2024-25.

In goal Wednesday Stolarz will get the starting nod on the road against Montreal on Wednesday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Stolarz was originally expected to take the second game of the back-to-back versus New Jersey on Thursday but a lower-body injury to Joseph Woll has shuffled the Leafs' plans. The 30-year-old Stolarz has never reached the 30-game mark in his career but could play himself into a bigger share of the workload with some strong performances early on. As of now, Woll hasn't been ruled out for Thursday's matchup, though Dennis Hildeby was promoted from the minors.

Blanks Wings on Thursday Stolarz stopped all 30 shots he faced in Thursday's 2-0 preseason win over the Red Wings.
Impact It was an impressive effort from Stolarz against a Detroit squad that featured all its top stars. The 30-year-old netminder is expected to begin the 2024-25 campaign as the backup to Joseph Woll in the Toronto crease, but Woll has never played more than 25 games in an NHL season due to various injuries. If he has trouble staying healthy again, Stolarz could get a chance to prove his outstanding numbers last season for the Stanley Cup champion Panthers (2.03 GAA, .925 save percentage in 27 appearances) can hold up with a bigger workload.

Tending twine Thursday Stolarz will protect the road goal versus the Red Wings in Thursday's preseason game, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
Impact Stolarz is set for his third game of the preseason. The 30-year-old has given up just two goals on 26 shots over his first two appearances. Stolarz is set to begin 2024-25 as backup to Joseph Woll, but it's possible the Maple Leafs ultimately give their goalies roughly equal workloads.
