Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll left the ice early in Raleigh.
After two periods of play on Thursday, the Maple Leafs replaced Woll in net with Dennis Hildeby, announcing he would not return to the game after suffering a lower-body injury against the Carolina Hurricanes.
The moment that caused the injury was not immediately apparent.
After the game, which the Maple Leafs won 5-1 to extend their win streak to three games, head coach Craig Berube said the severity of Woll's injury was unknown.
It's been less than a month since the 27-year-old's late-season debut on Nov. 15 after he missed the first month of the season due to a personal family matter.
The Maple Leafs are in all-around goalie trouble, with their other key netminder also out with an upper-body injury. Anthony Stolarz has not skated since Nov. 11, and there is currently no timeline for his return.
Hildeby, meanwhile, had played six games so far this season entering Thursday's matchup, with a .914 save percentage and one win.
