With Anthony Stolarz (lower body) expected to miss several weeks, the Maple Leafs crease will belong with Woll. The 26-year-old Woll boasts a terrific 2.24 GAA and .918 SV% in 12 games this season (8-4-0). In his young career, Woll has only faced the Stars once but was excellent in that outing last season, recording a victory and saving 31 of 32 shots (.969 SV%). The Maple Leafs enter Wednesday's contest as +121 road underdogs against a Stars club riding a two-game winning streak.

Kampf has not played since November 16th and will return from a one-month absence on Wednesday against the Dallas Stars. The 29-year-old Kampf was averaging 12:18 time-on-ice before his injury, recording three points (0G / 3A) and 15 hits in 18 games.

Stolarz was able to play the first period of last Thursday night's game but did not join his teammates for the start of the second due to a lower-body injury. The 30-year-old netminder's absence from the team will be a tough loss for a club that has relied on him, posting a stellar 2.15 GAA and .927 SV% in 17 games (9-5-2). Joseph Woll will likely see the majority of the action between the pipes while Stolarz is out of the lineup, with Dennis Hildeby serving as his backup.

Johnson was a healthy scratch on Sunday, the third time in the last four games, and has been reassigned to the Iowa Wild (AHL). The 26-year-old Johnson is averaging 9:32 time-on-ice and has zero point in three games with Minnesota this season.

Stolarz was able to play the first period of Thursday night's game but was unable to join his teammates for the start of the second due to a lower-body injury. Joseph Woll will likely be exclusively in the crease for the Maple Leafs while Stolarz is injured but the team also recalled Dennis Hildeby on Friday from the Marlies (AHL).

Maple Leafs' head coach Craig Berube suggested that McMann could return to the lineup as soon as this weekend. Before his injury, McMann was providing decent secondary offense for the Maple Leafs, with his six goals, seven points and 52 SOG in 21 games played this season.

Stolarz suffered a lower-body injury in Thursday's game against the Anaheim Ducks and did not return. There has not been a concrete update on Stolarz yet but Hildeby's call-up likely indicates that he will not be ready for the Maple Leafs' upcoming game on Saturday. The 23-year-old Hildeby has a 2.73 GAA and .897 SV% in six games (2-2-2) with the Toronto Marlies (AHL) this season.

It's unclear when Stolarz suffered the injury. He was able to play the first period of Thursday night's game but was unable to join his teammates for the start of the second. We should get an update on his status ahead of Toronto's game in Detroit on Saturday.

With several injured players returning to the Maple Leafs lineup, Alex Nylander had fallen out of the lineup rotation and was placed on waivers on Wednesday. Nylander was signed by the Maple Leafs three weeks ago and averaged 9:53 time-on-ice while recording zero points in five games.

Mermis is an undrafted 30-year-old defenseman with 74 games of NHL experience. Mermis played a career-high 47 games with the Minnesota Wild last season, recording eight points (3G / 5A).
