For those who haven’t kept track of Woll’s progression as a prospect, here’s a quick overview. After getting drafted, Woll spent three years at Boston College, playing to a .916 save percentage, before graduating early and going pro. Unfortunately, his first two seasons with the Marlies haven’t been impressive as the farm team has struggled to be competitive since 2019\. His AHL save percentage is not great, .885, but Woll has put up some impressive performances on occasion, including a 57-save win against Laval and three shutouts. Hopefully tonight is now one of them? Recent Leafs goalies making their NHL debuts include Kasimir Kaskisuo (2019), Antoine Bibeau (2016), and Garret Sparks (2015). Kaskisuo and Bibeau both lost their games, Sparks famously earned a 24-save shutout of the Edmonton Oilers in his debut. He was the most recent goalie to get a shutout in his NHL debut until Zach Fucale made 21 saves in his debut on Thursday. > Talk about an NHL debut, [@Fucale31](https://twitter.com/Fucale31?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).[#NHLStats](https://twitter.com/hashtag/NHLStats?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com): [https://t.co/3s3HUgMLJc](https://t.co/3s3HUgMLJc?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [pic.twitter.com/ZvJQscPom2](https://t.co/ZvJQscPom2?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — NHL Public Relations (@PR\_NHL) [November 12, 2021](https://twitter.com/PR%5FNHL/status/1458996892214439939?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Sheldon Keefe hasn’t indicated any lineup changes for tonight’s back-to-back after a 2-1 OT win over the Calgary Flames.

Rasmus Asplund is the team’s leading scorer with 10 points in 13 games, with Victor Olofsson leading the team in goals with five. Connor McDavid went up against Dylan Cozens last night, and the rookie centre held McDavid to 10-8 in Corsi at 5v5\. Cozens’ line didn’t do as well against Draisaitl, but looking at the shifts, it seems most of that came from the last 10 minutes of the game when the Oilers were pushing to tie. Through two periods, the Sabres actually held the Oilers even in shots and were actually ahead in expected goals. In terms of real goals, the Sabres all three of theirs at 5v5 while giving up two on the power play. I don’t think that says much about their penalty kill when you take into account the Oilers power play (and how that’s pretty much their only way of scoring). To me, the Sabres look like a really well-coached, coordinated, and resilient team. I never thought I’d say that about the team in the past decade but it’s true. Things are on the up for them. The Leafs will need to be careful as they’d generally had trouble against low-talent/high-tenacity teams. > Poll: Which line should the Sabres use against Connor McDavid on Friday and Auston Matthews on Saturday? > > — John Vogl (@BuffaloVogl) [November 12, 2021](https://twitter.com/BuffaloVogl/status/1459183326330249216?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Forwards Jeff Skinner - Tage Thompson - Rasmus Asplund Drake Caggiula - Dylan Cozens - Vinnie Hinostroza Zemgus Girgensons - Cody Eakin - Kyle Okposo Anders Bjork - Arttu Ruotsalainen - John Hayden Defense Rasmus Dahlin - Mark Pysyk Jacob Bryson - Colin Miller Will Butcher - Robert Hägg Goalies Aaron Dell - confirmed starter Craig Anderson
