This evening a new report has revealed that Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll has suffered a setback in his recovery from a groin injury.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been without goaltender Joseph Woll for the entire season so far. Woll was placed on injured reserve just before opening night and has been out since. In recent days, Woll returned back to the ice and many expected him to return as the backup for tonight's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Tonight a new report has come out confirming that Joseph Woll did not return due to an injury setback he suffered causing tightness in the impacted area. Now not only will Joseph Woll miss tonight's game but is also now doubtful for the Maple Leafs game against the St. Louis Blues.

This news continues an infuriating trend for the Toronto Maple Leafs when it comes to Joseph Woll. Last season during the Stanley Cup Playoffs he suffered an injury and has not been able to stay healthy since. The Maple Leafs were hoping to be able to rely on Joseph Woll but now Craig Berube will have to continue looking elsewhere for their goaltending.

Luckily backup goaltender Anthony Stolarz has stepped up in Joseph Woll's absence and played incredibly well. Through 5 games Stolarz has a 1.83 goals-against average and a 0.938 save percentage. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for backup goaltender Dennis Hildeby who has struggled tonight in his second game of the season against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

This could likely mean that the Toronto Maple Leafs will be hesitant to rely on Dennis Hildeby going forward. If that is the case the Maple Leafs will need Joseph Woll back as soon as possible or they will need to explore the trade market.

As more information is provided on the Toronto Maple Leafs goaltending situation and the health of Joseph Woll we will pass along the latest information.
