Berube: Injured Carlo Needs Treatment, Stolarz Shows No Progress
Brandon Carlo’s absence from the Toronto Maple Leafs is likely to be prolonged. Head coach Craig Berube announced that Carlo is expected to require a procedure for a lower-body injury. “He has to get something done,” Berube stated during a media session leading up to the match against the Florida Panthers. This injury has not progressed as the team had anticipated.
Brandon Carlo’s Injury Updates
Carlo, who is 29 years old, last participated in a game on November 13. His recovery has faced setbacks, and he has played only 18 games this season. Originally from Colorado Springs, Colorado, Carlo was traded to the Maple Leafs from the Boston Bruins at the trade deadline in 2025. This season marks his 10th year since graduating from the Western Hockey League’s Tri-City Americans.
Anthony Stolarz’s Continuing Struggles
In addition to Carlo’s situation, Anthony Stolarz, a goaltender for the Maple Leafs, remains unable to practice as he deals with an upper-body injury. Coach Berube reported that there is no real improvement in Stolarz’s condition. He sustained the injury during a loss to the Boston Bruins on November 11.
Stolarz’s Performance Data
Stolarz, in his second season with Toronto, has not played since the injury. His statistics this season include:
- Games Played: 13
- Record: 6 wins, 5 losses, 1 overtime loss
- Goals Against Average: 3.51
- Save Percentage: .884
Previously, Stolarz has played for several NHL teams, including the Florida Panthers, Anaheim Ducks, Edmonton Oilers, and Philadelphia Flyers. He signed a four-year, $15 million contract extension with the Maple Leafs in September.
Toronto Maple Leafs’ Current Standings
The Toronto Maple Leafs currently hold a record of 11 wins, 11 losses, and 3 overtime losses, placing them at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. As the team faces these challenges, the health of key players like Carlo and Stolarz will be critical for any turnaround in their season.
