AutoDraft Pro AI

Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Anthony Stolarz (nerve issue) is set to return from injury and start Friday's home game against Vegas, marking his first appearance since November 11 after missing 33 games. Coach Craig Berube called his return a "huge boost" after a conditioning loan. The 32-year-old backstop holds a 6-5-1 record with a 3.51 GAA and .884 save percentage in 13 outings this season. He's expected to split goaltending duties with Joseph Woll and could potentially earn the starting role with strong performances.
