The Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 2–0 on Monday night, backed by a phenomenal performance from Dennis Hildeby. The Lightning entered the game sitting first in the Atlantic Division, making the Leafs' performance even more impressive. Hildeby recorded his first career NHL shutout and now holds a .969 save percentage, one of the best marks in the league. The Maple Leafs are finally stringing together points and beginning to resemble the team that won the

The Maple Leafs are making adjustments to their lineup ahead of Prime Monday Night Hockey against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Nick Robertson will come out, with Calle Järnkrok stepping back in. Toronto is hoping to tighten its structure and balance its forward group in an important divisional matchup, but the decision to scratch Robertson is as confusing as it is counterproductive. Nick Robertson deserves better than the press box For a team starving for secondary scoring, offen

The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to be without starting netminders Joseph Woll and Anthony Stolarz, with no timeline for the goalies. Dennis Hildeby has been the Maple Leafs’ backup this season, posting a .927 save percentage and a 2.51 goals against in seven contests. He has one win this season in a 7-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Hildeby has looked sharp when asked upon this season, but will it be enough going forward for the Maple Leafs? The Maple Leafs are still o

From the start, it was clear Järnkrok was still adjusting physically. His offensive production has been modest, and his game has evolved noticeably post-surgery. The explosiveness that once made him a sneaky transition threat hasn’t fully returned, forcing him to lean more heavily on positioning, timing, and experience. Instead of driving play through speed, he now supports it through structure. While this shift hasn’t made him ineffective, it has certainly changed the type o

The Toronto Maple Leafs officially placed Joseph Woll on injured reserve Saturday with a lower-body injury, and in response brought up goaltender Artur Akhtyamov from the Marlies. The move is retroactive to Dec. 4, but it doesn’t soften the blow: Woll is out, and the Leafs suddenly have a major problem in net. Woll left Thursday’s 5–1 win over Carolina after making a second-period save that clearly didn’t sit right. He never returned for the third, and now the timeline become

The Toronto Maple Leafs got a welcome boost at practice today as Chris Tanev stepped back onto the ice for the first time since suffering his latest injury. He was in a non-contact jersey, but even that was enough to give the team and fans something positive to build on. This was the first time Leaf fans had seen the Toronto native on the ice since November 1st against the Flyers. Tanev joined his teammates for the morning skate, taking part in drills and moving well while av

The Toronto Maple Leafs are suddenly navigating a major shakeup in their crease after placing goaltender Joseph Woll on injured reserve Saturday with a lower-body injury. In response, the team recalled Artur Akhtyamov from the AHL, signalling that Toronto is preparing to roll with an inexperienced tandem for the near future. The IR move is retroactive to December 4th, but the timeline remains unclear. What Happened that Ended With a Joseph Woll Injury Woll suffered the inj

The Toronto Maple Leafs may once again be staring down the barrel of a goaltending crisis. Joseph Woll, who has been the organization’s most stabilizing force between the pipes this season, left Thursday’s game with a lower-body injury and did not return. Until further medical updates offer clarity, the Leafs must prepare for the possibility that Woll could miss meaningful time, forcing the front office to evaluate every realistic avenue to keep their season on track. Interna

When the Maple Leafs claimed Troy Stecher off waivers in November 2025, it wasn’t just a gamble; it was a strategic move to shore up a defence dealing with injuries and inconsistency. Stecher, a right-shot defenseman with over 500 NHL games under his belt, brings a style built on speed, hustle, and reliable puck movement traits that fit a team needing structure as much as skill. While Simon Benoit and Philippe Myers have been rotation regulars this season, both have struggled

The Toronto Maple Leafs faced off against the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night. The Maple Leafs ended up beating the Hurricanes 5-1, but it came at the cost of losing their number one goalie, Joseph Woll , with a lower-body injury during the second period.

The Toronto Maple Leafs received welcome news as Oliver Ekman-Larsson participated fully in practice today, avoiding what could have been another significant injury on an already battered blueline. Ekman-Larsson left Saturday’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the third period with an upper-body injury and did not return, raising immediate concerns about his status. One Toronto Maple Leafs Injury Not to Worry About Before exiting the game , the veteran defender deliv

Simon Benoit rejoined the team during Monday’s practice in Florida, missing only Saturday’s 7-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 27-year-old Laval native has contributed two assists, 55 hits, and 34 blocked shots in 23 games this season. He averages around 18 minutes of ice time per game and is widely recognized for his role as a shutdown defenseman on the Leafs’ blueline. The start of the season has not been easy for Benoit. He has admitted to struggling in his performa

During the Toronto Maple Leafs’ dominant 7–2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson exited the game in the third period due to an upper-body injury.

His goal extended his point streak to a career-best nine games, a run that now stands tied for the second-longest by a defenseman in Maple

Morgan Rielly, much like the Maple Leafs as a whole, has had an up-and-down start to the season. Offensively, he’s been one of Toronto’s most reliable producers on the back end, posting 3 goals and 14 assists for 17 points in 22 games. At this pace, he’s tracking toward his best offensive season since 2018-19. However, the defensive side of his game has been a different story. Rielly has looked a step behind at times, making costly reads and showing lapses in coverage that ha

According to Elliotte Friedman, William Nylander and Craig Berube share a genuine mutual respect. They’re often seen laughing and talking during practices, showing that their relationship is far from tense. But beneath that levity lies a more intense layer. This season, the two have argued more than in years past, not in a destructive way, but in a competitive, push-each-other-to-be-better way. Nylander has had an outstanding start to the season, being Toronto’s most product
