Joseph Woll is in line to get the nod in another must-win moment.
Woll was 6-1-0 in seven games with the Leafs during the regular season — including six straight wins to finish the campaign — and went 16-4-1 with the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League.
Toronto got a reprieve with a gutsy, defensive effort in front of Woll, but put up just two goals for a sixth straight playoff game. Keefe credited Florida's defending, especially in the last two games — a 3-2 Panthers' OT triumph and the Leafs' victory with their backs against the wall. "Gives you absolutely everything that he has," Keefe said. "That sort of thing is contagious infectious.O'Reilly, who arrived in Toronto via trade with Acciari from the St. Louis Blues in February, commended the gritty effort.
