Maple Leafs G Anthony Stolarz (knee) out 4-6 weeks
Dec 10, 2024; Newark, New Jersey, USA; Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz (41) takes a break during a stoppage in play against the New Jersey Devils during the second period at Prudential Center. Mandatory Credit: Luther Schlaifer-Imagn Images Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz will be sidelined four to six weeks after he undergoes knee surgery.
Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving said Tuesday that an MRI revealed no structural damage and that the loose body in the goaltender's knee looked like a "little pebble."
Stolarz was placed on injured reserve Sunday, three days after he sustained a lower-body injury in the first period of the Maple Leafs' 3-2 win against the Anaheim Ducks. He sat out Toronto's 4-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday and was ruled out of Sunday's eventual 5-3 win over against the Buffalo Sabres prior to being placed on IR.
The Maple Leafs will rely on goaltenders Joseph Woll and Dennis Hildeby in the absence of Stolarz.
Stolarz, 30, is 9-5-2 with a 2.15 goals-against average and .927 save percentage in 17 games (all starts) this season.
He is 52-36-11 with a 2.61 GAA and .916 SP in 125 career games (100 starts) with the Philadelphia Flyers, Edmonton Oilers, Anaheim Ducks, Florida Panthers and Maple Leafs.
