While the Leafs received temporary relief with Kampf's suspension, moving on from the center allowed them to make moves with clarity.

Following practice on Friday, Leafs head coach Craig Berube made some interesting remarks about Joseph Woll and his status for Saturday's game against Chicago.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Brandon Carlo will miss Saturday’s game against the Chicago Blackhawks with a lower-body injury.

Woll (personal) is expected to start on the road against Chicago on Saturday, per David Alter of The Hockey News.

Following Tuesday's morning skate, Craig Berube provided a very positive update on Joseph Woll, hinting at a return date in the near future.

Woll stopped 25 of 28 shots in his second game of a conditioning loan with the Marlies on Wednesday afternoon.

Woll began his remarks by thanking the Leafs organization — namely, Leafs general manager Brad Treliving — and his teammates for their support. He remained close with them throughout his absence. Forward Matthew Knies told The Athletic that Woll texted him to wish him a happy birthday on his Oct. 17 birthday.

The Toronto Maple Leafs goalie, who returned to the team Oct. 24 after taking month-long leave of absence to attend to a personal family matter, will join the Toronto Marlies of the AHL in order to see game action prior to playing in the NHL.

Griffins snatch overtime victory against Marlies, extending their incredible point streak to ten games with a late-game hero.
