Anthony Stolarz is currently considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury, ruling him out for Thursday's game against Los Angeles. This update comes as Stolarz's career trajectory is reviewed, highlighting his past performance as one of the NHL's best backup goalies, including a Stanley Cup win and impressive statistics like a 2.03 GAA and .925 save percentage in 27 games. He has transitioned to the Toronto Maple Leafs, where he is expected to share the crease with Joseph Woll. Previously, Stolarz played for the Anaheim Ducks, where he posted a 2.67 GAA and .917 save percentage in 28 games due to starter John Gibson's injuries, and also represented Team USA at the IIHF World Championship. His time in Anaheim also saw him in a tandem role with Ryan Miller, with a 2.66 GAA and .922 save percentage in 39 AHL games. Stolarz has also played for the Philadelphia Flyers and Edmonton Oilers, with a 2.07 GAA and .928 save percentage in seven games for the Flyers before a torn MCL required surgery. His past also includes a suspension for stick swinging and playing at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. Stolarz is a pending unrestricted free agent next summer, offering potential stash value for fantasy leagues.
