Stoltz leaves game 1 victory in the 2nd period for Maple Leafs

Toronto – Anthony Stolanz left the second period for the Toronto Maple Leafs in a 5: 4 victory against the Florida Panthers in game 1 of the second round of the Eastern Conference on Monday in the Scotiabank Arena.

Stolance stopped eight of the nine shots with which he was confronted before leaving the game at 10:14 a.m. of the second. He was replaced by Joseph Woll, who had scored 17 parades in his first appearance since April 17.

Before his departure, the stolance had his head rejected twice from his head.

The first came at 5:08 a.m. the first period when a shot from Panther's striker Sam Reinhart met him. The game was immediately stopped while the stolance set the belt on his mask.

The second took place at 7:16 a.m. when Panther's arm took the arm of Panthers Sam Bennett into contact with Stoltz's head during a scrambles in front of the net.

During the next television time, the stolance became the Toronto bench. At this point, the Maple Leafs made the goalkeeper.

Maple Leafs trainer Craig Berube said after the game that the stolance was still evaluated. Game 2 of the best-of-7 series will take place here on Wednesday (7 p.m. ET; CBC, TVAS, SN, ESPN).

“It's hard to see. You never want to see that a teammate doesn't feel so good,” said Woll.

Stoltz, who supported Sergei Bobrovsky for the Stanley Cup last season during the Panther 'Run' Run, started all seven games for the Maple Leaf in this post. He went 4-2 with an average of 2.21 goals and a percentage of 0.901 against the Ottawa senators in the first round of the Eastern Conference.

“He was over our rock all year round. I can't say enough about him,” said Chris Tannev, defender of Maple Leafs.

Woll was 27-14-1 with a 2.73 GAA, a percentage of 0.909 and a shutout in 42 games (41 starts) during the regular season. It is 4-2 with a 2.12 GAA and a percentage of 0.924 percent in eight career playoff games (four starts).

“They feel a mixture of things, between concern for him and ready to play themselves,” said Woll. “I mean when you see how your teammate goes down, I think it's not good if you see that he goes on the ice. Or if he doesn't feel good to get on the bench.

“You know that these boys try to create a family atmosphere here in (the changing room). So it is like one of my family members.”
