Toronto Maple Leafs Make Critical Lineup Change Against the Florida Panthers

Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll have been a phenomenal goaltending duo this season for the Maple Leafs and fans are still wondering who will start in the playoffs.

Most have their money on Stolarz given his hot start that could have had him in Vezina contention had it not been for a midseason injury.

Now, with two games against the Florida Panthers and a match against the Tampa Bay Lightning coming up, both goaltenders find themselves auditioning for the postseason.

The Atlantic Division race sees three teams within two points of each other. The Leafs are on top with 94 points, while the Lightning have 93 and the Panthers have 92.

This has put head coach Craig Berube in a tough spot as he has to make the right personnel choices in order for his team to be successful.

That means picking the right starting goaltender and according to reporters at morning skate, it has been confirmed that Anthony Stolarz will be in the net come puck drop.

Stolarz has been great this season and with a goals-against average of 2.35 and a save percentage of .919, he was most certainly the man for the job tonight.

Not to mention, he also had a very good game against the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday, turning away 36 out of 37 shots.

If he can get the win tonight, then there is no doubt that the Leafs need to play him again on Saturday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. That game is Saturday so it would give the team plenty of time to recover.

Either way, this is a huge matchup and fans are both hoping for and expecting a win out of this Maple Leafs squad.
