Joseph Woll Breaks His Silence on Troubling Play for Maple Leafs Against Sharks

After Auston Matthews scored on the power play to pull the Leafs within one in the second period Thursday in San Jose, goaltender Joseph Woll made a horrendous mistake in playing the puck while attempting to make a pass in his crease. His attempted pass bounced off the skate of Sharks forward William Eklund and into the net, putting the Sharks back up by two.

Following the game, head coach Craig Berube was not thrilled with his team's play, citing that everyone had to be better but specifically mentioned the goaltending.

Following practice on Friday, Woll was asked about the mis-play and admitted he had a lapse in judgement.

As Berube took in practice from the stands in an unusual change, he confirmed there would be lineup changes and was non-committal about a starting goalie for Saturday's game against the LA Kings.

With the Leafs playing Saturday and Sunday, it would be more surprising if Woll didn't get one of the starts. Which game however, depends on how fast Berube believes the former third-round pick can bounce back from his sub-par performance.

There's no question that both of the Leafs' netminders need to be better, especially with the playoffs looming.
