Woll stopped 28 of 33 shots in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 7. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Woll was under siege for a large portion of the first period, but he was able to get the game to the first intermission with no goals on the board. The Panthers regrouped well and put three goals away in the second, and the Maple Leafs couldn't provide much of a response. Woll ends the postseason 3-4 with a 3.56 GAA and an .886 save percentage over seven games, all in the second round after Anthony Stolarz was knocked out of the series opener versus Florida due to an upper-body injury. Heading into 2025-26, it's likely the Maple Leafs will run it back with Woll and Stolarz as a tandem in goal, as the duo gave Toronto stability from the net out in the regular season.

Bobrovsky stopped 19 of 20 shots in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 7.

The Panthers started off the game strong but had nothing to show for it in the first period. Bobrovsky was able to hold the fort until his teammates' offense started clicking in the middle frame, as he improved to 3-0 in Game 7s in his career. He's up to 8-4 in the playoffs with a 2.31 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 12 appearances. Bobrovsky won't get any extra time to rest -- the Panthers are off to Carolina to open the Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday.

Contrary to a prior report, Stolarz (upper body) will suit up as the backup for Sunday's Game 7 matchup against the Panthers, according to Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun.

In a surprising turn of events, Stolarz will be an option in goal in the scenario that Joseph Woll falters or gets injured. The 31-year-old Stolarz was hurt in a 5-4 win in Game 1 but has been making strides in his recovery since then. The New Jersey native has a 4-2 record, 2.19 GAA and .901 save percentage over seven appearances in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Bobrovsky will patrol the road blue paint Sunday versus the Maple Leafs in Game 7, per Panthers play-by-play announcer Steve Goldstein.

Bobrovsky faced his lightest workload of this series in Game 6 on Friday, but the Panthers were shut out for the first time this postseason. The veteran netminder's second-round numbers have been subpar (.895 save percentage, 2.62 GAA), but his ratios in two career Game 7 appearances -- .933 save percentage and 1.88 GAA -- are stellar. The winner of Sunday's matchup will take on the Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Finals, which begin Tuesday.

Woll will patrol the home crease in Game 7 against Florida on Sunday, per Luke Fox of Sportsnet.

Woll is coming off a 22-save performance in Friday's 2-0 shutout win over the Panthers in Game 6. He has a 3-3 record with a 3.28 GAA and an .893 save percentage across six appearances this postseason. However, Woll has been stellar in elimination games during his NHL playoff career, going 4-1 with a 1.13 GAA, a .958 save percentage and one shutout.

Stolarz (upper body) won't be an option for the Game 7 home matchup versus Florida on Sunday, Jonas Siegel of The Athletic reports.

Stolarz has been skating but still hasn't resumed practicing yet. He will miss his sixth straight game and still doesn't have an exact timeline for his return to the lineup. Joseph Woll will start in Game 7 versus the Panthers on Sunday, while Matt Murray will be the backup.

Hellebuyck stopped 18 of 20 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 6.

Hellebuyck picked up a couple of shutouts in the series, but he lost all three games in Dallas as well as one in Winnipeg. The 31-year-old went 6-7 with a 3.08 GAA and an .866 save percentage over 13 playoff games. Hellebuyck was winless on the road in the postseason, which was a major factor in the Jets' second-round exit, though he remains one of the best regular-season goalies in the league. He'll be the No. 1 between the pipes for the Jets again in 2025-26.

Oettinger stopped 22 of 23 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Jets in Game 6.

Oettinger has yet to lose consecutive games this postseason. He was sharp in the second round, giving up just 12 goals over six contests versus the Jets despite the Stars being on the wrong side of two shutout losses. The 26-year-old is now at a 2.47 GAA and a .919 save percentage through 13 playoff outings. Oettinger will next try to tame the relentless offense of the Oilers in the Western Conference Finals, though the Stars' previous experience versus the Avalanche in the first round should give Oettinger a reference point for his next opponent.

Hellebuyck will defend the road net versus the Stars on Saturday in Game 6, according to Nicholas J. Cotsonika of NHL.com.

Hellebuyck stopped all 22 shots he faced in a 4-0 win over Dallas on Thursday in Game 5. He has earned a 6-6 record with two shutouts, a 3.18 GAA and an .863 save percentage across 12 appearances this postseason. Hellebuyck has gone 0-5 with a 5.84 GAA and a .793 save percentage on the road during the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Oettinger will patrol the home crease in Game 6 against Winnipeg on Saturday, according to Savannah Huemoeller of D210SPORTS.

Oettinger allowed three goals on 34 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Jets in Game 5, with the fourth tally being an empty-netter. He has a 7-5 record with a 2.60 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 12 appearances this postseason. Oettinger is 5-1 with a 2.23 GAA and a .920 save percentage on home ice in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
