The Toronto Maple Leafs have announced who is going to patrol the pipes for Game 3 in Florida in the wake of Anthony Stolarz's injury scare.

With the Maple Leafs headed into Florida for the third game of Round Two, there's going to be a lot of questions regarding whether or not the team is going to see Anthony Stolarz back in net anytime soon.
But since he isn't going to be in the lineup for the foreseeable future, it's going to be up to the Maple Leafs' other goaltenders to keep things steady. Joseph Woll did well in his first start, and Matt Murray is back there if anything goes wrong.

Craig Berube Sticking With The Brick Woll

So it's not surprising to see that Craig Berube is going with Woll again as the team looks to take a dominating 3-0 series lead against the reigning champs.
It's a sign that not only Berube trusts Woll, but that when the times get tough, the team can handle whatever is thrown at them. Matt Murray is no slouch as a backup, and won two Stanley Cups in his first two seasons; he can handle the pressure no doubt.
There's some concerns with Woll regarding his ability to perform in the first half of the game, as the goalie tends to get better as the game goes on, so it's imperative the Maple Leafs score early and often; much like they did in Game 1.
So far, Woll's numbers haven't been fantastic. He has a 2-0-0 record but his stats leave some with their eyes popping out of their head.
His 4.01 GAA and .875 SV% don't leave a lot to be desired but if he can get a win, that's all that matters.
The lineup isn't going to change much either, which is a good thing considering the amount of success the team has had thus far.
A lot of people were worried about how the team would perform but it's night and day from Sheldon Keefe.
Florida is dealing with some potential injury concerns themselves, which can only mean good things for the Maple Leafs and for Woll especially if names like Matthew Tkachuk, Gustav Forsling or Aleksander Barkov are out.
The trust is there in Joseph Woll, and if anyone can lead the Maple Leafs to glory it's the young goaltender.
He just needs to keep it held down for two more games, and then Toronto will be setup nicely for the Conference Finals; with Anthony Stolarz also back in the fold.
