Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube gives the latest update on both John Tavares and Joseph Woll, and says they aren't going to rush any player no matter what, but it helps that both Anthony Stolarz and Dennis Hildeby have been good so far.

Centre John Tavares remained absent from Toronto Maple Leafs practice on Monday, with the former captain having already missed the team's home opener on Saturday with an illness.

Head coach Craig Berube said that Tavares is feeling better but couldn't confirm if he will be able to play at home to the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday (7:30 p.m. ET on Sportsnet).

Berube also said that goalie Joseph Woll skated before the main group went out for practice. Woll was placed on injured reserve last Wednesday with a lower-body injury.

The Leafs coach also said that he hopes Woll will be able to join the the team at practice soon.
