Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Joseph Woll suffered an apparent injury to his left leg during Thursday's away game against the Ottawa Senators, leaving fans disheartened.
The 25-year-old goalie got himself injured after making a save during the third period. Woll appeared to be in significant pain as he limped off the ice with the assistance of his teammates.
Woll left the game when the Toronto Maple Leafs were leading the Sens 3-2 in the third period. He made 29 saves on 31 shots. In Woll's absence, 33-year-old goalie Martin Jones took on the responsibility between the pipes and also made his first appearance for Toronto in the game.
