<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The Toronto Maple Leafs announced today that goaltender Joseph Woll is rejoining the team and will resume team activities and on-ice participation as part of the return-to-play process.</p>— Leafs PR (@LeafsPR) <a href="https://twitter.com/LeafsPR/status/1981798046330761716?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 24, 2025</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p>This news comes just one day after the team <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/toronto-maple-leafs-joseph-woll-long-term-injured-reserve-ltir-leave-absence">placed Woll on long-term injured reserve (LTIR)</a>. As of now, there is no timetable for when Woll will return to game action.</p>



<p>The situation with Woll has been mysterious, to say the least. On Sept. 23, Leafs GM Brad Treliving disclosed that the 27-year-old netminder would be taking a leave from the team for personal reasons.</p><div class="injected-ad injected-video" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="0" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="131"></div>



<p>Whatever the cause of Woll’s absence may have been, his return represents major relief for a team that was searching for goaltending solutions beyond Anthony Stolarz. Stolarz himself has gotten off to a less-than-stellar start, sporting a 2-3-1 record with a .894 save percentage and a 3.01 goals-against average. Former <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/montreal-canadiens/line-combinations">Montreal Canadien</a> Cayden Primeau has been the only other goaltender to start for the Maple Leafs this season, snatching a victory against the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/nashville-predators/line-combinations">Nashville Predators</a> despite giving up four goals on 30 shots.</p>



<p>Last season, Woll started the most games in net for Toronto, going 27-14-1 with a .909 SV% and a 2.73 GAA in 41 starts. In the playoffs, he went 3-4 with an .886 SV% and a 3.56 GAA.</p>



<p>When Woll does return, the Maple Leafs hope he will reunite with Stolarz to reform one the NHL’s best goalie tandems. In 33 starts last season, Stolarz earned a record of 21-8-3 with a league-leading .926 save percantage and a 2.14 goals-against average.</p><div class="injected-ad" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="1" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="164"></div>



<p>The Maple Leafs have a home-and-home against the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/buffalo-sabres/line-combinations">Buffalo Sabres</a> on Friday and Saturday, making it likely that Primeau will get the start in one of those games.</p>


Last season, Woll went 27-13 with a .909 save percentage and a 2.73 goals-against average in 41 starts.
