Must see: Montreal Canadiens prospect tries to re-injure Joseph Woll
The Maple Leafs rookie goaltender Joseph Woll is finally gearing up to return in the NHL following a massive injury that forced him to miss more than two months of action.
Last night, he was back on the ice for a game with the Marlies. Brad Treliving decided to send him in the AHL for conditionning purposes. He played against the Laval Rocket, the Montreal Canadiens' affiliate team.
The rivalry between the Leafs and the Habs is well known and it transpired in the game last night.
