Sheldon Keefe confirms starting goaltender against Boston for game 5

The Toronto Maple Leafs are looking for answers after a downfall in game 4 against the Boston Bruins.

One key issue has been Ilya Samsonov, who has been relied on as the team's last line of defense, and hasn't lived up to the big job.

Pulled for the third period in game 4, Joseph Woll filled in and looked much better. With that in mind, head coach Sheldon Keefe has chosen to start Joseph Woll for game 5.

The young goaltender is far from an elite starter, but hopefully a little bit of fresh blood is what the Toronto Maple Leafs need. On the verge of elimination (where their record is far from incredible), they'll need all hands on deck.

With Auston Matthews possibly not healthy enough to play, and William Nylander still suffering from the lingering effects of his debilitating head injury, we will see if the Toronto Maple Leafs can fend off the Boston Bruins tonight.
