A couple of former Philadelphia Flyers players are struggling and injured on the Toronto Maple Leafs, and old friends are left to deal with the mess and try to hold down the fort.
Stolarz was pulled due to poor performance for the first time as a Leaf after allowing four goals on 19 shots against the Bruins.
Leafs netminder Joseph Woll made his much anticipated return to game action on Saturday, albeit in a losing effort with the Toronto Marlies.
Stolarz was selected by the Flyers with the 45th overall pick of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. From there, he played two seasons with the Flyers, where he posted a 14-6-4 record, a .911 save percentage, and a 2.86 goals-against average.
In a game that showcased the highs and lows of hockey, backup goalie Dennis Hildeby replaced Anthony Stolarz midway through the second period, marking a significant moment in the match and the season.
