The Leafs lose goaltender Anthony Stolarz to injury this evening

This just in, the Toronto Maple Leafs have lost goaltender Anthony Stolarz to an apparent lower body-injury this evening.

Stolarz started tonight's game against the Anaheim Ducks, but did not return to the crease for the 2nd period after playing the entirety of the 1st period. Jospeh Woll has taken his place in the Leafs' crease.

Stay tuned for additional updates when available. 

Read below for our earlier report on the Leafs and their activity on the waiver wire today.

This just in, the Utah Hockey Club has claimed defenseman Dakota Mermis off of waivers from the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Additionally, the Edmonton Oilers have placed Travis Dermott on waivers and the Winnipeg Jets have placed forward Henri Nikkanen on unconditional waivers for mutual contract termination.

From NHL insider Frank Seravalli:

Dermott essentially lost his 7th defenseman position with the Oilers after the team claimed defenseman Alex Regula from the Boston Bruins earlier this week. It's expected that Dermott will be assigned to the AHL's Bakersfield Condors if he clears waivers tomorrow.

As for Nikkanen, he has yet to play an NHL game in his professional career and it's expected that he'll return to his native Finland to continue his pro career once he clears waivers tomorrow.

It's also worth noting that Leafs forward Alex Nylander cleared waivers and will now be assigned to the AHL's Toronto Marlies.
