Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz 'Feeling Much Better' After Injury, Timeline Still TBD

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz is "feeling much better" amid his recovery from the injury that left him briefly hospitalized on May 5, head coach Craig Berube told reporters Tuesday.

Berube's update came after Stolarz participated in his first public on-ice workout since he exited Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals with the injury.

Berube told reporters Stolarz was "progressing." Per NHL.com's Dave McCarthy, when asked if he had a timeline as to when Stolarz might return, Berube answered, “No, not right now I don’t. No."

Stolarz took a puck off his mask and was part of a collision with Florida Panthers forward Sam Bennett prior to his exit from Game 1.

The series between the Leafs and Panthers is currently tied 2-2. Berube told reporters Stolarz would not be available for Wednesday's Game 5 at Scotiabank Arena.

According to McCarthy, Stolarz spent 25 minutes on the ice Tuesday taking shots and working on agility with goalie coach Curtis Sanford.

Stolarz left before the main Leafs practice, per McCarthy. All expected players were in attendance except Oliver Ekman-Larsson, is dealing with an illness Berube described to reporters as "nothing terrible."

Stolarz briefly stayed in Game 1 after the collision with Bennett but left after appearing to vomit at the bench.

He was taken to the hospital for observation, but was seen by reporters at the Leafs' practice facility the following day.

Joseph Woll, who entered Game 1 in relief, has made three starts in Stolarz's absence.

He made 25 saves in Game 2 to help the Leafs claim a 2-0 series lead, but marked a 5-4 overtime loss in Game 3.

Woll stopped 35 of 37 shots against in Game 4, but the Leafs conceded a 2-0 shutout loss to tie the series.

The Leafs will hope to halt the momentum of the defending champions when the second-round series swings back to Toronto on Wednesday.
