Anthony Stolarz is the Maple Leafs starter, per John Chayka — a public vote of confidence over Sergei Bobrovsky that says as much about workload as about merit.

The Maple Leafs head team physician of 20 years is out. Inside Chayka's medical overhaul, the injury season behind it, and what it means for camp.

Maple Leafs starting goalie 2026-27: Bobrovsky's $7M deal says one thing, Stolarz's .926 season says another. Why Toronto's crease is genuinely unresolved.

Behind Bobrovsky and Stolarz, the Maple Leafs third goalie plan is thin across 84 games. Why Alexandar Georgiev on a PTO is the cheapest hedge Toronto can make.

The NHL emergency backup goalie rule is rewritten for 2026-27. What it requires, who qualifies, and why the Maple Leafs need it more than most.

Anthony Stolarz went from a league-leading .926 to .893 in one year. With Bobrovsky at $7 million behind him, he has the most to prove on the Maple Leafs.

The Sergei Bobrovsky Maple Leafs deal is official — three years, $21 million for a two-time Cup champion, reuniting him with Anthony Stolarz and resetting Toronto's crease.
