Joseph Woll (born July 12, 1998) is an American professional ice hockey goaltender for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL). Woll was selected by the Maple Leafs in the third round (62nd overall) of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.
Playing career
[edit]Woll played three years of college hockey with Boston College.[1] Woll modeled his style of play on Carey Price. He assumed the team's starting role in the net after Thatcher Demko graduated. He played in the 2017 World Junior Championships for Team USA. He appeared in two games, posting a 1.50 goals against average (GAA) and .932 save percentage and won a gold medal with the team.[2] He played in the 2018 World Junior Championships with Team USA.[3] He started five games on the way to winning the bronze medal that year.[4]
Woll was selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the third round (62nd overall) of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.[5] He signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Maple Leafs on March 24, 2019.[6] In July 2021, he signed a one-year contract extension with the Maple Leafs.[7]
He was recalled by the Maple Leafs on November 6, 2021, after Petr Mrázek suffered an injury.[8] Woll made his NHL debut on November 13, 2021, against the Buffalo Sabres and made 23 saves in a 5–4 win.[9][10] He played in four games total with the Maple Leafs and went 3–1–0 with a 2.76 GAA and a .911 save percentage.[11] On February 11, 2022, he signed a three-year extension with the Maple Leafs.[12]
In May 2023, Woll made his NHL playoff debut coming in relief of starter Ilya Samsonov, playing the third period of Game 1. The Maple Leafs went on to lose the game to the Tampa Bay Lightning 7–3 with Woll giving up 1 goal on 5 shots.[13] He assumed the starter's job in the second period of Game 3 during the Maple Leafs second-round series against the Florida Panthers when starter Ilya Samsonov got injured in a collision with teammate Luke Schenn. Woll would surrender 3 goals in the second and third as the Leafs lost the game to go down in the series 3 games to zero.[14] Woll made his first career playoff start in Game 4 and got the victory giving up only 1 goal, making 24 saves.[15] However, the Maple Leafs lost the series to Florida after Nick Cousins scored the overtime winner in Game 5 to eliminate them from the playoffs 4–1.[16]
