Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll had to stand on his head late in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers, including a game-saving robbery in the dying seconds to seal the victory.
The Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 on Saturday at Rogers Place. The team is took the day off on Sunday in Calgary.
"Both pretty pumped up," Woll said."I do my best to stay even keeled during the game. And then when the game's over, it's emotional and it's awesome, right, like, when you get a big win. It was a playoff-style hockey game. A big, huge win for us." McDavid scored a power-play goal against Stolarz in the first game between the teams back on Nov. 16 in Toronto, which also ended in a 4-3 Leafs win. But the Oilers captain could not beat Woll despite firing a season high nine shots on net.
Woll has played 17 games since Stolarz got hurt on Dec. 12. Only Winnipeg's Connor Hellebuyck has started more in this stretch. Questions about the workload have persisted as Woll's save percentage dipped below .900 in January. The Leafs built a 3-0 lead in the first period and led 4-1 in the first minute of the third period before hanging on for dear life. If there was just one more second left on the clock, Perry likely ties the game.
"We got the lead, and I thought we could've made a harder push," the coach said."We let them come at us too much ... We did a lot of good things, but I think we could've been more aggressive with the lead. I am not critiquing wins — wins are wins, and they’re good — but we could've pushed a little bit more on them."Marner scored what ended up being the game-winning goal on the first shift of the third period.
"It was incredible," said Knies."He juked three guys and found a way to put it in the back of the net. It was fun to watch.""There's a drop pass and any time there's a drop pass for the offensive side, when they're executed they're hard to defend," Knoblauch said, "when it's not then it's usually an odd-man rush going the other way." "Just saw time and space," Marner said."Tried to make a move.
