The Toronto Maple Leafs confirmed their top two goaltenders are available for Sunday`s critical Game 7 showdown with the Florida Panthers.
According to reports just before the game started, Anthony Stolarz will serve as backup to starter Joseph Woll for Sunday`s decisive match.
Stolarz had not dressed since Game 1 of the series, which he left after sustaining two impacts to the head: an elbow from Panthers forward Sam Bennett and an earlier shot off his mask.
His availability for Game 7 was somewhat unexpected, as he did not participate in the team`s morning skate and had not practiced with the team since being hospitalized after Game 1.
Despite Stolarz`s return to the lineup, Joseph Woll will make his sixth consecutive start in the second round. In his previous six games against the Panthers, Woll has recorded a 3.28 goals-against average and an .893 save percentage.
Woll is coming off a strong performance, having earned his first career playoff shutout in Toronto`s 2-0 victory over the Panthers in Game 6.
Game 7 between the Maple Leafs and Panthers is scheduled to air live starting at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT.
