Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz will miss Game 4 of the Eastern Conference second-round playoff series against the Florida Panthers and seemingly will miss more time than that.
Stolarz, 31, has been out since he was injured in Game 1 on Monday. He left the game when he was struck in the head by the arm of Florida’s Sam Bennett and later was taken to a local hospital for evaluation.
“He’s progressing in the right direction,” Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube said Saturday. “But he has not skated yet (since getting hurt).”
The Maple Leafs headed to Florida without Stolarz for Game 3. Game 4 is scheduled for Sunday in Sunrise, Fla., with the series returning to Toronto for Game 5 on Wednesday.
Toronto has a 2-1 lead in the series after the defending Stanley Cup champion Panthers won 5-4 in overtime in Game 3 on Friday.
Joseph Woll, 26, has assumed the starting duties from Stolarz. In the series, he has allowed 11 goals and made 73 saves. He has a save percentage of .869 and a 3.99 goals-against average in the first three games.
