Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz to start vs. Bruins

Stolarz, who was scheduled to start against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday, was injured when a shot from teammate William Nylander struck him in the throat during warm-ups.

The Maple Leafs said that Stolarz went to the hospital for precautionary imaging and confirmed after the game that he had been released and cleared to fly home with the team.

Joseph Woll started in place of Stolarz and made 38 saves in a 5-2 loss. It was his fifth start in six games.

Stolarz has fallen into the back-up role recently with Woll getting hot. He last started on March 15 in a win over the Minnesota Wild.

The 32-year-old missed 33 games earlier this season with an upper-body injury.

Ekman-Larsson was force to leave after just 15 minutes during Monday’s practice and Rielly missed Saturday’s contest with the Senators with a lower-body injury.

Toronto plays Boston Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET (Sportsnet+).
