The Toronto Maple Leafs are breaking their goaltending rotation.
Craig Berube announced that Anthony Stolarz will start against the Columbus Blue Jackets, giving him back-to-back starts.
The Leafs have been rotating starts between Stolarz and Joseph Woll this season, but Berube is opting to go with the veteran after his stellar start against the Florida Panthers.
Stolarz has won his last four starts back-to-back against playoff teams. In 30 games this season, Stolarz has a 17-8-3 record with a 2.34 goals-against average and a .920 save percentage.
The Leafs do have a back-to-back next week against the Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning which means Woll will see the net in one of those games. The 26-year-old last played on March 30 against the Anaheim Ducks, allowing two goals while making 29 saves in the win.
In 39 appearances this season, Woll has a 25-13-1 record with a 2.78 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage.
