Toronto Maple Leafs' overdependence on Anthony Stolarz has NHL analyst worried (Image Source: Imagn)
Anthony Stolarz has been a strong goaltender for the Toronto Maple Leafs this season. Signed in July to a two-year, $5 million contract, Stolarz has posted a 9-5-2 record in 17 games. He has a 2.15 goals-against average (GAA), ranking second in the league, and a .927 save percentage, the best among all NHL goalies. He has also recorded one shutout.
However, Stolarz’s workload is raising some concerns, and Yard Barker analyst Michael Whitaker talked about it in his recent column. Stolarz left the Maple Leafs' last game, a 3-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks, with a lower-body injury after stopping seven of eight shots. Joseph Woll finished the game in goal.
"The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to have to make do without goaltender Anthony Stolarz..." Whitaker said via YardBarker. "If the Leafs are without Stolarz for an extended period of time, it would be a significant setback."
