NHL Status Report: Stolarz practices with Maple Leafs, could play before Olympic break
Toronto Maple Leafs
Anthony Stolarz (upper body) was a full participant at the Maple Leafs’ morning skate prior to their game against the Colorado Avalanche on Monday (10 p.m. ET; KTVD, ALT, SNO, TVAS) and could play before the NHL breaks for the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 next month, coach Craig Berube said. It was the goalie’s first time on the ice with his teammates since Nov. 11, when he left a 5-3 loss at the Boston Bruins after the first period. “I don’t have a date like targeted, but he’s on this trip so he can get time with us and be around us and get practice time with us. So, that’s good,” Toronto coach Craig Berube said. “I think he’s getting pretty close. Just needs the reps, needs the conditioning, that sort of thing.” Stolarz is 6-5-1 with a 3.51 goals-against average and .884 save percentage in 13 games this season. The Maple Leafs play their last game before the Olympic break at the Edmonton Oilers on Feb. 3.
