Joseph Woll steps back into the spotlight as he starts for the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 2 of the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs against the Florida Panthers. After coming in as a relief in Game 1, Woll showcased his skills, helping secure a 5-4 victory despite being thrust into a high-pressure situation. Captain Auston Matthews expressed confidence in Woll, noting his focus and preparedness.

Meanwhile, the Leafs face uncertainty with their primary goalie, Anthony Stolarz, recovering from an elbow to the head. Coach Craig Berube mentioned Stolarz is doing well, yet veteran Matt Murray will back up Woll, bringing his playoff experience to the bench. The Panthers, on the other hand, welcome back Aaron Ekblad, who returns from a suspension, bringing added defensive strength to their lineup.
