Joseph Woll is occupying the home net at the full morning skate today.

Who will start for the Maple Leafs in Game 2?

Beat writer David Alter reports that Joseph Woll was in the home net, and he will be starting for Game 2. Matt Murray was at practice, and he will be the backup.

Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports that Stolarz does not have a stall in the Maple Leafs dressing room.

Head coach Craig Berube says Stolarz is "fine, but still recovering."

Recovering from the two head shots he received in Game 1 — a puck to the face that knocked his mask off, and an elbow to the head from Sam Bennett that left him sprawled on the ice, and throwing up on the bench 10 minutes later.

Berube added that there is no timeline for Stolarz's return.

Woll relieved Stolarz midway through the second period of Toronto's 5-4 win, while the Leafs' starter between the pipes was taken to hospital for observation.

Woll, who was excellent in last year's playoffs for a couple of games before being absent from Game 7 of the Leafs' first-round series loss with his own injury, was a bit shaky after taking over for Stolarz on Monday, but hadn't seen game action in a few weeks.

He'll try to settle in as the starter on Wednesday night.
