The Leafs may have won, but they lost their number one goalie.

Sam Bennett collided with Anthony Stolarz and he left the game.

He threw up on the bench moments later. He was even taken to the hospital.

Sounds like a concussion….

Doctors always say when you take a hit that produces a concussion, if you feel nauseous, you should immediately go to the hospital. That’s where Stolarz went. https://t.co/LmLhxvOxDf

Joseph Woll came on in relief and stopped 17 of the 20 shots directed at him.

William Nylander took charge of the attack. He got the ball rolling in the opening seconds.
