Joseph Woll, the backup goaltender for the Toronto Maple Leafs, stepped in and made 29 saves after Ilya Samsonov was pulled for giving up three goals on four shots in a game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Leafs won the game, prompting discussions about whether Woll should be given the starter's job. Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe confirmed that Woll was scheduled to start against the Washington Capitals and that they will stick to the plan.
Joseph Woll has been so good today. Caps are outshooting Toronto 18-5, but can’t get anything by Woll. Then, he waits out Alex Ovechkin on the penalty shot, stayed with him the whole way and made the blocker save look easy. Such great patience for a young goalie in a big spot.
