“Yeah, pretty sweet,” Woll said. “Pretty cool games, the first two games at United Center and then against St. Louis. So it’s a special game.”
Woll takes nothing for granted in his young career. It’s been an interesting start to his 2025-26 season, and he’s quickly gone from a conditioning phase to get his legs back under him after a long layoff, to holding down the starting crease with Anthony Stolarz on the shelf. Either way, Woll is up for the challenge, he showed it against the Blues, and as soon as the horn sounded in victory, he jumped right into reflection mode.
“Pretty sweet. Quite nice to win at home with such fans. I always try to look around and absorb it, really, when we win like that, especially in extra time.”
“He’s a beast, John in the corner, and I was just kind of mesmerized watching Will. It got me excited, so it was pretty cool.”
It wasn’t all pretty for Nylander on Tuesday night, as he opened the game by knocking the puck past Woll to give the Blues a 1-0 lead on his own goal. It was a headache as many wondered why Nylander was trying to return the puck to his goal, so close. Woll heard from him shortly afterwards during a TV timeout.
“Not much, he made up for it, so we’re all honest. One by one.”
Woll’s posted a .934 save percentage early, which is a great sign for a Leafs team that could use some consistency in net. Woll is expected to carry a heavy workload with Stolarz unavailable, so don’t be surprised if he starts Thursday when the Maple Leafs host the Columbus Blue Jackets.
