Joseph Woll Nearly Posts A Shutout In First Playoff Start
2 years agoToronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll put in a very strong performance in his first playoff start on Wednesday, helping the team to stay alive in the series against Florida with a 2-1 win. The 24-year-old faced 25 shots and was beaten only by Sam Reinhart on the power play 12:13 into the third period. Woll became the first Maple Leafs rookie netminder since Felix Potvin in 1993 to earn a win in the playoffs. He's now 1-1 for these playoffs with a 2.45 goals-against average and a .902 save percentage. Woll came up big for the team on Wednesday and looks to have a strong chance to stay in the crease even if Ilya Samsonov (upper body) is deemed healthy to play for Friday's Game 5.
