Toronto Maple Leafs goaltenders Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll have been sensational this season and they are leading the NHL in one particular category.
Anthony Stolaz and Joseph Woll are killing it for the Maple Leafs
As far as wins, goals-against average, and save percentage are concerned, Woll and Stolarz have been performing quite well.
However, there is one advanced stat that showcases whether or not your goalies are exceeding expectations.
This statistic is called goals saved above expected, and as of right now, the two Maple Leafs goalies are leading the league at +16.7.
What makes this so impressive is that the league-worst is the same number but with a minus sign in front of it.
The Leafs currently lead the entire NHL as of December 22nd in team goals saved above expected at +16.7 in all situations.
In comparison, the team with the worst (Flyers) sit at -16.6.
Only time will tell whether or not the Maple Leafs will be able to get this kind of goaltending for the rest of the season.
Stolarz will only be back as of 2025, while Woll is currently trying to hold down the net with a mix of
Matt Murray and
Dennis Hildeby.
Meanwhile, the Leafs are back in action this afternoon as they will be taking on the Winnipeg Jets in what will be a pretty difficult game.
It is not going to be an easy one, but the team can certainly trust Woll between the pipes.
