Joseph Woll is nearing a return but did not play for the Maple Leafs in their 4-1 loss to the New York Rangers at Scotiabank Arena on Saturday.
The goalie, who has missed each of Toronto's first five games (3-2-0), was not on the ice for the morning skate Saturday but was a full participant in practice Friday for the first time since Oct. 8 because of a lower-body injury.
"[Woll looked] good," Toronto coach Craig Berube said Friday. "He was out there with us which was a great sign. Seems like he's really heading in the right direction, so all good. Sooner than later [he should be ready for games], I would think, but you have to take it day by day still. I think it's important here after practice to see where he's at."
Woll was expected to start Toronto's season opener against Montreal on Oct. 9 until he complained of lower-body tightness, which has kept him out since.
"A little bit of groin tightness and I'm feeling better now, so right now I'm just focused on coming back and helping this team," Woll said. "I'm just trying to take it day by day and stack good days on top of each other. I'm really excited to get back."Entertainment Plaza - TV, Movies, Sports, Music, Soaps
