Joseph Woll stepped into the spotlight for the Toronto Maple Leafs in their second-round playoff series against Florida, showcasing his ability under pressure with a solid 25-save performance in a 4-3 victory. This game marked his first full start since April, stepping in for Anthony Stolarz, who suffered a head injury. Woll’s history in the postseason is impressive, with a .950 save percentage in prior playoff appearances.

Despite his success, concerns arose over Stolarz's health following a hit that led to vomiting on the ice, raising questions about NHL concussion protocols. Coach Craig Berube expressed confidence in Woll's readiness, emphasizing the importance of experience as veteran Matt Murray served as backup. As the series progresses, Woll's current form could be pivotal for the Maple Leafs' playoff aspirations.
