According to Darren Dreger, the injury may very well have been lower-body as the goaltender did not put any weight on his left leg as he left the ice.
The injury lead to the debut of Leafs goaltender Martin Jones, who the team just called up to fill in for Samsonov as the team's backup.
We will await news on Woll's status after the game.
