Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll left tonight's game against the Ottawa Senators due to a lower-body or groin issue. Martin Jones replaced him. Woll's early departure highlighted the Leafs' reliance on him.
In the first period, Woll made a remarkable glove save against Vladimir Tarasenko, contributing to the Leafs' efforts.
On the Senators' side, defenseman Thomas Chabot is expected to miss at least four weeks due to an undisclosed injury, as reported by TSN's Darren Dreger. Fortunately, surgery is not required.
Chabot's recurring health issues have affected the Senators' performance, with the team currently struggling in the NHL's Atlantic Division, sitting at 10-10-0 in the first 20 games. Questions arise about potential changes, possibly involving interim GM Steve Staios addressing head coach D.J. Smith's effectiveness in a competitive division.
Sheldon Keefe on Joseph Woll: "He will miss some time." More testing when Maple Leafs get home
