The Toronto Maple Leafs were able to avoid elimination from the Stanley Cup Playoffs, defeating the Florida Panthers by a 2-1 final score and forcing a Game 5 tomorrow night back in Toronto.
And it was third string goaltender Joseph Woll who helped make it possible, making 24 saves in his first career postseason start; he was originally called into action early in the 2nd period of Game 3 after an upper body injury to starter Ilya Samsonov.
And thanks to his efforts, he's officially in the Maple Leafs team record books. Per Sportsnet:
"Joseph Woll. First goaltender in #LeafsForever history with 10 wins in his first 12 starts with the franchise (regular season & playoffs)."
It will once again be Woll in net for tomorrow's Game 5 at Scotiabank Arena.
