Maple Leafs Reporter Gives Clarity on the Goaltending Situation Once Woll Returns
The Toronto Maple Leafs have needed a big boost in net, and they've got that with the return of Ilya Samsonov as of late, but now, they have a big decision to make very soon.
The return of Joseph Woll
While Head Coach Sheldon Keefe has not given a timetable on the return of Joseph Woll, he is expected to skate and practice with the team upon conclusion of the All-Star break, signaling a return could not be far away.
With a 2.80 GAA and a .916 save percentage, Woll has certainly cemented his spot on the roster when healthy, so now the question becomes, what do Toronto do with Martin Jones when Woll gets back on the roster?

Will the Maple Leafs carry three goaltenders?
According to reporter Luke Fox, the Maple Leafs do not want to risk losing Martin Jones on waivers, as he has revealed that the team are likely to take the unorthodox approach of carrying three goaltenders.
It's unclear beyond that how they will play the situation heading into the playoffs, as both Woll and Samsonov have dealt with issues this season and the team can't trust them both to stay healthy right now. This creates a major issue as Jones, with a 2.64 GAA and a .911 save percentage will almost certainly get claimed, so this will be an intriguing situation to keep an eye on down the stretch.
