The Toronto Maple Leafs have been without Joseph Woll since night one of the NHL season and now head coach Craig Berube has given a major update on his recovery.

Joseph Woll was expected to be a cornerstone of the Toronto Maple Leafs lineup under new head coach Craig Berube. He was expected to be the starter and to play a majority of the games this season. Just hours before the Maple Leafs kicked off their season against the Montreal Canadiens it was announced Woll was hurt. Shortly after the announcement of Joseph Woll's injury he was placed on injured reserve.

Since placing Woll on injured reserve the Toronto Maple Leafs have been rolling with the goaltending combo of Anthony Stolarz and Dennis Hildeby. Both goalies have performed well through the first few games of the season and the defense has backed them up.

After today's practice for the Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube was asked for an update on Joseph Woll's recovery and gave an interesting answer.

Craig Berube confirms Joseph Woll could return soon

During his press conference earlier today Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube gave a major update on Joseph Woll. According to the Maple Leafs bench boss Joseph Woll got back on the ice today and could return to full practice in the next couple of days.

This is a great sign for the Toronto Maple Leafs and their fans. When Joseph Woll was placed on injured reserve it was unknown exactly how long he would be out. Now it seems that he could return shortly after the mandated week on injured reserve.

When healthy Joseph Woll is an above-average NHL goalie. Last season he played just 25 games but played well. Before that, Joseph Woll starred as the Maple Leafs 3rd goaltender splitting time between the Toronto Marlies and the NHL. If Joseph Woll can find a way to stay consistent and healthy then the Toronto Maple Leafs could be a scary team when the Stanley Cup Playoffs arrive.

The Toronto Maple Leafs should be able to take another big step forward once Joseph Woll is back. With the Maple Leafs already playing well defensively without Joseph Woll they could reach incredible heights when he comes back. When it comes back all eyes will be on his workload to see how much the Toronto Maple Leafs put on him.
