The Toronto Maple Leafs are changing up their goalie rotation.
Anthony Stolarz will make his second straight start Saturday when the team hosts the Edmonton Oilers (Sportsnet, Sportsnet+, 7 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PCT), head coach Jim Hiller told reporters.
It will mark Stolarz's first back-to-back starts of the season.
"He's been good for a long time. Not a lot of rebounds. Played well against Edmonton last time. A lot of different things," Hiller explained.
Stolarz took the loss Thursday against the Minnesota Wild, coughing up four goals on 25 shots against.
Over eight games this season, the 32-year-old holds a .900 save percentage and 2.90 goals against average — both superior numbers to Sergei Bobrovsky at .881 and 3.47 across 13 appearances.
Stolarz led the Maple Leafs to a 7-2 win over Edmonton in October, stopping 30 of 32 shots against.
Toronto is looking to snap a five-game losing streak and avoid a winless six-game homestand, while Edmonton is eyeing its fourth straight win.
