The Toronto Maple Leafs stand to gain significantly from the condensed NHL schedule during the 2025-26 season, particularly due to the Olympic break. With only five games scheduled in February, including no games between February 4 and February 24, the Leafs' two-goalie system could become a vital asset. The current goalies, Joseph Woll and Anthony Stolarz, both possess the ability to handle the workload effectively, with Stolarz posting a .926 save percentage last season and Woll achieving 27 wins in 42 games with a .909 average.

This setup may allow for a balanced distribution of playtime, potentially leading to a near-even split of games played between the two by season's end. Such a strategy would preserve their sharpness and combat fatigue, especially with a demanding schedule in January and March.
