Woll is expected to start Game 3 at Amerant Bank Arena on Friday (7 p.m. ET; MAX, truTV, TNT, SN, TVAS, CBC) with Matt Murray backing up. The Panthers are down 2-0 heading home and will be making a big push early on, so the 26-year-old must brace himself. For his part, he's performed like he's ready for it.

Toronto tied the game in the third period through a goal scored by defenseman Morgan Rielly before Brad Marchand scored the overtime winner off a deflection at 15:27. Woll has now allowed at least three goals in each of his three playoff appearances this year, posting an .869 save percentage and 3.99 goals-against average.

How Maple Leafs fans think about Joseph Woll this summer will depend on how he handles this next week. These are the moments that define an athlete’s reputation, and it’s time for him to stand tall, Luke Fox writes.
