Toronto Maple Leafs starting netminder Anthony Stolarz had somewhat of a lukewarm start to the season. His first three outings were relatively unimpressive, especially when considering the back-to-back losses to the Detroit Red Wings. Stolarz allowed seven goals across the two matchups.
But that doubt should finally be put to rest following Thursday night’s brilliant performance against the New York Rangers. Stolarz essentially stole the game for the Maple Leafs. The Rangers threw everything at Stolarz but the kitchen sink, and still couldn’t score.
The Blue Shirt finally got through in the third period of a redirection from Juuso Parssinen.
