The Toronto Maple Leafs are set to kick off a back-to-back in Alberta to close out the pre-Olympic portion of the 2025-26 season, beginning with the Calgary Flames on Monday night. It appears that Joseph Woll is set to make his second straight start, two days after he backstopped the Leafs to a 3-2 shootout win over the Vancouver Canucks to break a six-game losing streak.

Woll has had some forgettable starts lately, but getting a shot in the crease again is a notable vote of confidence from head coach Craig Berube, and one that he’ll look to use to stir up some positive momentum before the three-week Olympic break. He stopped 28 of 30 shots in the win on Saturday including some incredible saves in overtime to keep the team alive.
Morgan Rielly is the latest player to be hit by the injury bug after leaving Saturday’s game in Vancouver with an upper-body injury. Rielly will be held out through the Olympic break with a lingering issue that he aggravated. The longest-tenured Leaf has seven goals and 24 assists for 31 points in 54 games this season.
Aside from Rielly not skating with the main group, there appears to be one final tweak, with Simon Benoit and Philippe Myers skating together on the bottom pair after both of them sat against the Canucks. Marshall Rifai made his season debut on Saturday and struggled a little bit, given it was his first NHL game since 2023-24, so it looks like Berube will return to leaning on his veterans to fill out the bottom of the defensive corps.
The Maple Leafs will look to head into the break on a winning streak after a horrendous stretch in late January that threw a wrench into their playoff hopes. While they’re not eliminated from playoff contention, they will need to start winning games soon, and a lot of them, if they want to keep the dream alive.
