Tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs will look to make it three in a row against the Utah Mammoth, and their starting goalie decision could determine the result.
One of the weaker points of the Toronto Maple Leafs so far this season has been the goaltending, although it's not exactly the fault of
Anthony Stolarz.
As for tonight, the Maple Leafs are playing the Utah Mammoth. The Mammoth have been solid to start the season, and the Leafs are looking to put a stop to them, all while securing their first three-game winning streak of the season.
Coming into this game, Stolarz has picked up three wins in a row. Two of those wins have come over the past four days, against the Philadelphia Flyers and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
While he might be fatigued, the Leafs are still riding with him. He has turned aside over 30 shots in his last two games, and he seems to be riding high.
Stolarz currently has a record of 5-4-1, while also boasting a goals-against average of 3.13 and a save percentage of .896.
If he can get his numbers to sub three and above .900, then the Leafs will be in a good position. After all, the Leafs are the kings of November for a reason.
Stolarz's next night off will likely be this weekend as the team plays the Boston Bruins on Saturday, and the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday.
Of course, they would love to have
Joseph Woll back in time for these games, but that seems extremely unlikely right now.
