NHL Analyst Identifies Maple Leafs 'Luxury' at Critical Position - Athlon Sports

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.

What advantages does having two strong goalies provide for the Leafs?How can the Leafs utilize their condensed schedule to their advantage?What role does internal competition play in a two-goalie system?Can a two-goalie system work in the playoffs?
