Toronto Maple Leafs Make Waves with Starting Goalie Decision Against the Boston Bruins
Tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs are taking on the Boston Bruins in what should prove to be an interesting matchup between two heated division rivals.
Coming into this game, head coach Craig Berube was tasked with a difficult decision concerning his goaltenders and whether or not he should start Anthony Stolarz or Joseph Woll.
As we reported yesterday, the Maple Leafs are looking to split the goalies for the rest of the season and then once the playoffs arrive, they will pick a starter.
Toronto Maple Leafs starting goalie tonight
According to David Alter of The Hockey News, the Toronto Mape Leafs are currently on the ice ahead of their matchup against the Bruins.
Morning skate is always a good indication of who is playing, and it seems like we were able to get our confirmation just moments ago.
As per Alter's reporting, the Maple Leafs have decided to go with Stolarz, who got the win against the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday.
Although Woll was solid against the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday, there is no denying that it is Stolarz's turn right now.
If anything, you can expect Woll to start on Friday as the Maple Leafs will be playing against the struggling New York Rangers.
Meanwhile, fans should feel very confident about having a guy like Anthony Stolarz as their starting goalie tonight. He has a save percentage of .928 and he has a goals-against average of 2.13.
Had he not gotten injured back in December, there is no denying that the goaltender could have been in Vezina trophy talks.
Whatever the case may be, Stolarz continues to be given chances to prove himself and if he continues on this trajectory, he is likely to be the team's starting goaltender by April when the highly-anticipated playoffs officially begin.
