Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll is taking an indefinite leave of absence from the team to attend to a personal family matter. There is no timeline for his return, and it is unclear when he will rejoin the team. The Maple Leafs have requested privacy regarding the situation, and the team management has clarified that Woll's absence is not related to substance abuse. His leave leaves the team uncertain about their goaltending depth early in the season, with Anthony Stolarz expected to take on the primary goaltending role and Dennis Hildeby the backup role. There have been discussions and proposals about acquiring additional goaltending support during Woll's absence. The Maple Leafs and Woll remain hopeful for his eventual return, but no specific details have been shared publicly.
