Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins and Anthony Stolarz
Digest more
Despite his recent challenges, Stolarz has had a mixed record against the Bruins throughout his career. In four regular-season appearances against this formidable opponent, he holds a record of 2-1-1. However, his GAA against the Bruins is still a concerning 3.44, which reflects the difficulties he has faced in critical moments.
Stolarz was selected by the Flyers with the 45th overall pick of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. From there, he played two seasons with the Flyers, where he posted a 14-6-4 record, a .911 save percentage, and a 2.86 goals-against average.
Stolarz was pulled due to poor performance for the first time as a Leaf after allowing four goals on 19 shots against the Bruins.
Leafs netminder Joseph Woll made his much anticipated return to game action on Saturday, albeit in a losing effort with the Toronto Marlies.
In a game that showcased the highs and lows of hockey, backup goalie Dennis Hildeby replaced Anthony Stolarz midway through the second period, marking a significant moment in the match and the season.
The Toronto Maple Leafs fell 5-3 to the Boston Bruins on Saturday night in a game that featured all the hits – defensive breakdowns, less-than-stellar play from their starting goaltender, and a former Leaf scoring a crucial goal against them.
