Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Gets no help in loss
Rotowire
Stolarz allowed three goals on 28 shots in Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Devils. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Stolarz got the start in the second half of a back-to-back, but the Maple Leafs' offense didn't deliver. This performance ended his three-game winning streak, in which he didn't allow more than two goals in any game. Stolarz is now 5-2-0 with a 2.72 GAA and a .908 save percentage across seven starts. Sergei Bobrovsky hasn't been able to get into a groove this season, allowing Stolarz to play a bit more than the average backup. Both goalies will carry significant risk in the coming week as the Maple Leafs are set to host the Avalanche on Tuesday, the Wild on Thursday and the Oilers on Saturday.

Stolarz will start Sunday's home game against the Devils, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
Stolarz is in the midst of a three-game winning streak in which he's gone 3-0-0 with a 2.00 GAA and .939 save percentage. However, his playing time has remained somewhat limited, and he'll start for just the second time in the Maple Leafs' last six games Sunday.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Third straight win
Rotowire
Stolarz made 26 saves in a 4-2 win over the Canucks on Saturday.
Stolarz has delivered three straight wins with just two goals allowed in each contest. He's 5-1-0 in six starts overall, and his 2.66 GAA and .910 save percentage sparkle relative to a lot of goalies in the league, including his battery mate, Sergei Bobrovsky, who is 3-5-2 with a 3.29 GAA and .885 save percentage. Stolarz is not going to replace Bob anytime soon, but he will see a solid amount of starts this season to keep the starter healthy heading into the postseason. That is, should the Leafs get there.

Rotowire
Stolarz is expected to start on the road against Vancouver on Saturday, per Luke Fox of Sportsnet.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Best player on ice from both teams
Rotowire
Stolarz made 30 saves in Saturday's 7-2 win or loss against Edmonton.
Stolarz was the best player on the ice for both teams. He was confident and played at the top of his crease all night, and his lateral movement was crisp. It's clear Stolarz has a higher ceiling than batterymate Sergei Bobrovsky. Unfortunately, he also has a lower floor because he can easily cough up a hair ball, too. There's no chance Stolarz takes over for Bob, but he has the potential to be a 1B if needed.

Stolarz made 36 saves in Tuesday's 6-2 win over Columbus. He has posted a 3-1-0 record this campaign and has stopped 106 of 118 shots. Edmonton (8-1-1) leads the league this season with 4.60 goals per game.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Gets third win of season
Rotowire
Stolarz made 35 saves in a 6-2 win over the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.
Stolarz is 3-1-0 in four starts with a 2.99 GAA and .897 save percentage this season. That save percentage is slightly better than the current league average (.892), and his GAA is a hair worse than average (2.91). In a projected 30 starts this season, Stolarz will be as good as anyone you can have in the blue paint and maybe even better once the team in front of him figures things out. The Leafs have been a mixed bag so far, so Stolarz's numbers could even improve with time.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Slated to start Tuesday
Rotowire
Stolarz will start Tuesday's road game against Columbus, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Sergei Bobrovsky has been named the starter for Monday's home game against the Sharks, and Stolarz will draw the start in the second half of the back-to-back set. Artur Akhtyamov will serve as the backup in each matchup, so Stolarz will get a guaranteed night off against San Jose. Stolarz has gone 2-1-0 with a 3.31 GAA and .875 save percentage across his first three starts of the regular season.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Yields five goals in loss
Rotowire
Stolarz stopped 23 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Mammoth.
Stolarz took his first loss of the season, though a clean third period gave the Maple Leafs a chance at a comeback that fell short. Through three outings, Stolarz is 2-1-0 with 10 goals allowed on 80 shots. Sergei Bobrovsky is still expected to get most of the starts for Toronto, but it's been pretty close to a timeshare so far. The Maple Leafs return home for the next three contests, beginning when they host the Sabres on Thursday.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Two starts, two wins
Rotowire
Stolarz made 21 saves Tuesday in a 5-4 overtime victory over the Predators.
Stolarz and Sergei Bobrovsky have split the Leafs games so far, and the former has had the better go of it. While he has allowed five goals in two games, Stolarz has won both his starts (Bob is still looking for his first), and he sports a 2.44 GAA and .904 save percentage. Try to marry these two on your fantasy roster. The Leafs will preserve Bobrovsky for a potential shot at the postseason, so Stolarz will get a lot of starts.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Sharp in first win of season
Rotowire
Stolarz stopped 26 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Islanders.
The veteran netminder took a shutout into the third period, only for Emil Heineman to spoil it with a shortie, but it was still an impressive start to the campaign for Stolarz. He's set to handle backup duties behind new No. 1 Sergei Bobrovsky, but the former Panther's decline last season could open the door for Stolarz to see more work than expected if its continues, provided he can stay healthy enough to take advantage.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Picks up road win Wednesday
Rotowire
Stolarz stopped 19 of 21 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 preseason win over the Senators.
Stolarz was backstopping a younger group of Maple Leafs, but he did his job well. With the preseason slate now done, Stolarz is poised to handle backup duties behind Sergei Bobrovsky. Stolarz battled upper-body and groin injuries in 2025-26 while also playing behind an underwhelming team, but his numbers should bounce back with a lighter workload expected in 2026-27.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Making start in split-squad game
Rotowire
Stolarz will protect the road net in Wednesday's split-squad game versus the Senators.
Stolarz will get a tune-up as the Maple Leafs wrap up their preseason slate Wednesday. The 32-year-old is the expected backup to Sergei Bobrovsky for 2026-27, a position that should afford Stolarz the chance to play 25-30 games to keep Bobrovsky relatively fresh throughout the year.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Ready for 2026-27
Rotowire
Stolarz (groin) has fully recovered from his groin injury and is expected to be the starter heading into training camp, according to general manager John Chayka, per Luke Fox of Sportsnet on Thursday.
Stolarz being deemed the starting goalie by Chayka shouldn't come as a huge surprise after the club traded away Joseph Woll in mid-June. The 32-year-old Stolarz was limited to just 26 regular-season appearances due to injuries this year, posting a 10-10-3 record and 3.28 GAA. That injury history should be a red flag for fantasy managers, especially considering he has reached the 30-game mark only once in his NHL career.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Hurt early Wednesday
Rotowire
Stolarz sustained a lower-body injury in Wednesday's game versus the Capitals and won't return to the contest.
Stolarz needed help off the ice after stretching out his left leg to make a save early in the first period. Joseph Woll took over in goal Wednesday and will end up playing nearly the whole game. The Maple Leafs will likely need to call up a goalie to start Thursday's road game versus the Islanders. Given the time of the season and the nature of Stolarz's injury, the team may opt to shut him down for the rest of the campaign.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Holds on for OT win
Rotowire
Stolarz stopped 28 of 32 shots on net in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Ducks.
Stolarz allowed two goals early in the first period before shoring up his defense over time, as he gave up just two tallies across the last 50 minutes of regulation. With the OT win, he now holds a 10-9-3 record, a 3.30 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 24 outings this season. While the 2025-26 campaign has been a rocky one for the 32-year-old netminder, he has built up a three-game win streak and is trending in the right direction. When healthy, Stolarz profiles as a solid option to make spot starts in fantasy for the remainder of the regular season.

He's trending in the right direction for fantasy purposes and is a solid spot start option in various leagues.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Excellent after missing game
Rotowire
Stolarz made 18 saves in a 4-2 win over Boston on Tuesday.
Stolarz earned the game's first star after missing his start Saturday after taking a puck to the throat during warmups and going to the hospital as a precaution. He has won his last two starts with just four goals allowed. Joseph Woll has lost five of his last six starts. Keep an eye on the Leafs overall. Stolarz should get at least half the starts based on his pedigree and performance, but the team may choose to sit the hot hand to drop further in the standings to get a top-five draft pick. That's where they need to land to keep this year's first-round pick, which was traded to the Bruins but is top-five protected.
