<p>Although Berube noted that Woll has not stepped on the ice since getting diagnosed with his ailment, things are progressing in the right direction.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s a good question. He&#8217;s getting better,&#8221; Berube said Saturday morning. &#8220;It&#8217;s still day-to-day right now, but, I don&#8217;t really have an answer.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://theleafsnation.com/news/maple-leafs-officially-place-goaltender-joseph-woll-injured-reserve" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Woll was placed on IR on Wednesday</a> due to lower-body tightness and that resulted in him being unavailable for the first three games of the regular season. This resulted in <a href="https://theleafsnation.com/news/report-dennis-hildeby-travel-maple-leafs-montreal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dennis Hildeby getting called up</a> while <a href="https://theleafsnation.com/news/toronto-maple-leafs-anthony-stolarz-season-opener-montreal-canadiens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anthony Stolarz got the start</a> for the regular season opener that was projected to be given to Woll before his injury diagnosis.</p>
<p>Both Stolarz and Hildeby played well in their respective games which should <a href="https://theleafsnation.com/news/toronto-maple-leafs-goaltending-best-in-atlantic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">give the Leafs confidence</a> to grant Woll as much time as required to recover from his ailments. Sportsnet&#8217;s Elliotte Friedman reported on the <a href="https://theleafsnation.com/news/report-leafs-had-no-choice-to-place-joseph-woll-on-ir-early" target="_blank" rel="noopener">latest 32 Thoughts The Podcast</a> episode that Toronto will look into adjusting Woll&#8217;s workload on non-game days once he is cleared to return.</p>
<p>“In this day and age, I think you’re seeing a lot of more teams starting to say that ‘You can’t do this anymore, that there has to be more rest,&#8217;” he said. “For Woll, I think they’re going to say ‘No more practicing as much as you do.’ Each team gets four days off a month, which is CBA-mandated, but I wonder if you’re gonna see it even more. I do believe that that’s one of the things they’re discussing.”</p>
<p>Woll has been dealt with numerous injuries over the past calendar year, including <a href="https://theleafsnation.com/news/joseph-woll-is-out-week-to-week-with-a-high-ankle-sprain" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a high ankle sprain</a> that sidelined him for three months and a back injury in the <a href="https://theleafsnation.com/news/auston-matthews-in-joseph-woll-out-as-the-maple-leafs-prepare-for-game-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dying seconds of Game 6 against the Bruins</a>. The Leafs have remained committed to him by signing him to <a href="https://theleafsnation.com/news/maple-leafs-sign-joseph-woll-three-year-10-98m-extension" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a three-year extension</a> in the offseason, but GM Brad Treliving also made a point to mention that they want to alter Woll&#8217;s training regimen to ensure he can stay durable.</p>
<p>He performed well when he was healthy, coming off a season where he posted a record of 12-11-1, a .907 save percentage, and a 2.94 GAA. Woll was even better in the playoffs where he recorded two wins along with a .964 SV% and 0.86 GAA before suffering the aforementioned injury.</p>
