Toronto Maple Leafs Face Goalie Crisis as Series Against Panthers Continues

The Toronto Maple Leafs are grappling with a significant injury setback as starting goalie Anthony Stolarz is unlikely to return for the ongoing playoff series against the Florida Panthers. Stolarz, who suffered a concussion during Game 1, has not started skating and did not travel with the team for Game 3. Joseph Woll is expected to take the lead in goal as the pressure mounts on him during these crucial playoff games. The controversy surrounding the injury continues, with Sam Bennett of the Panthers facing scrutiny for his hit on Stolarz, which has sparked discussions about player safety in the league. Despite the absence of Stolarz, the Maple Leafs managed to edge the Panthers in Game 1, but the road ahead looks challenging with key injuries affecting their roster.
