The Toronto Maple Leafs have announced that goaltender Anthony Stolarz will undergo knee surgery, sidelining him for 4 to 6 weeks. Initially considered a day-to-day issue, an MRI revealed a more serious problem requiring surgical intervention.

In response to Stolarz’s absence, the Maple Leafs may need to rely more heavily on their remaining goaltending options and could consider calling up a netminder from the Toronto Marlies, their AHL affiliate. This development adds pressure to the team’s defensive strategies as they navigate the upcoming weeks without one of their key goaltenders.

The Maple Leafs are set to face the Dallas Stars today, December 18, 2024, at 4:30 PM PST. Fans will be keen to see how the team adapts to this challenge in the crucial matchup.
