The Maple Leafs have provided some clarity on the injury front as some updates are being issued on the status of some of the team's injured players.

Toronto Maple Leafs get some update on Joseph Woll's status
In net, Joseph Woll was seen back on the ice practicing by himself. Woll, who hasn't played since Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes, is unclear when he will return.
Woll did not return for the third period against Carolina with a lower-body injury, replaced by Dennis Hildeby who has played the Leafs last two games.

Woll is uncertain to play tomorrow against San Jose as the Leafs haven't named a starter, although if Woll doesn't play, Dennis Hildeby is likely to get his third start in a row.

Dakota Mermis, who left Monday's game against Tampa Bay after a knee-on-knee collision with Lightning forward Gage Goncalves, was placed on injured reserve retroactive to December 8th.
Defenseman Henry Thrun, who has spent his three-year NHL career with San Jose, was recalled from the Toronto Marlies to make his Leafs debut against his former club.
Thrun, 24, has played 119 NHL games, all with San Jose. Tomorrow's game would be his first of the season, having played 19 games this season with the Marlies with nine points.
