Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll has a high-ankle sprain and is out on a week-to-week basis, the team said Saturday.
Woll sustained the injury Thursday in a 4-3 win over the Ottawa Senators.
Woll made 29 saves before being helped off the ice midway through the third period. He attempted to make a glove save on a shot but crumbled to the ice.
Woll, 25, is 8-5-1 on the season with a .916 save percentage and 2.80 goals-against average.
The Maple Leafs selected Woll, a Missouri native, in the third round of the 2016 NHL Draft.
Head coach Sheldon Keefe had not announced a starting goaltender for Saturday night’s game against the Nashville Predators as of Saturday morning.
Ilya Samsonov, who has been out two games with an injury, is set to return to the ice soon. He is 4-1-3 with an .878 save percentage and 3.58 GAA in 10 games this season.
The Maple Leafs also have veteran Martin Jones on the roster, recalled on an emergency basis on Wednesday from the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League. He made nine saves in relief of Woll on Thursday and got the win.
