Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Losing streak in March
Rotowire
Stolarz made 22 saves in a 3-2 loss to the Panthers on Thursday.
The game was tight -- the Panthers' third goal didn't come until 17:13 of the second period. Stolarz played well, but the Cats dominated on the power play, scoring twice. The Ides of March have come early to his game. Stolarz is 0-2-1 in three starts (four appearances), with 12 goals allowed and an .876 save percentage in that span. He'll be fine. It's good for the Leafs that he's getting this out of his system now, but that doesn't help his fantasy managers.

However, he's still 13-6-3 with a 2.33 GAA and a .921 save percentage in 23 starts. He'll be fine.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Makes relief appearance
Rotowire
Stolarz stopped 16 of 18 shots in relief of Joseph Woll in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Woll didn't get through all of the first period after allowed three goals on seven shots, and Stolarz was brought in to settle things down. Stolarz gave up both of his goals in the second period, and while he was sharp after that, the damage was too much for the Maple Leafs to come back from. Stolarz's record didn't take a hit -- he remains at 13-5-3 with a 2.21 GAA and a .925 save percentage over 23 appearances. He's been the better of Toronto's two goalies lately, but it's likely they continue to share the crease down the stretch unless the team is put in a position where riding the hot hand would be required. The Maple Leafs' road trip continues Saturday in Colorado.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Victorious in return
Rotowire
Stolarz (knee) allowed a goal on 27 shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.
Stolarz had been out since Dec. 14, missing nearly two months due to a knee injury. He didn't look to have missed a beat, limiting the Kraken to just an Eeli Tolvanen tally in the third period. Stolarz improved to 10-5-2 with a 2.08 GAA and a .929 save percentage over 18 appearances. He was playing at an elite level prior to the injury, and if he can get back to that level, he'll be a big boost for fantasy managers in the stretch run. Stolarz and Joseph Woll are likely to split the goaltending duties moving forward.

Maple Leafs' Anthony Stolarz: Nearing return
Rotowire
Head coach Craig Berube stated that Stolarz (knee) is a possibility to return to the lineup Thursday in Seattle, David Alter of The Hockey News reports Tuesday.
Stolarz last suited up against the Ducks on Jan. 12 -- he's missed 23 consecutive games due to his knee injury. While Toronto could opt to keep Stolarz out of action until after the 4 Nations Face-Off, the fact that he's an option for Thursday indicates he is close to full strength. The New Jersey native was enjoying a strong season before landing on the shelf, having gone 9-5-2 with a .927 save percentage and a 2.15 GAA across 17 appearances.
