The Toronto Maple Leafs are inching closer to getting their goaltending tandem back at full strength.
Joseph Woll returned to practice for the first time Monday as he continues to work towards a return to play following his leave of absence, which began during training camp.
However, Woll won’t be ready to play once his stint on long-term injured reserve is over, general manager Brad Treliving told reporters.
The goalie also skated with the team on Saturday, but not in a formal practice.
Woll is eligible to play for the Maple Leafs as of Nov. 1, but despite continuing to skate while away from the team, the goaltender will likely need to participate in some conditioning games with the AHL’s Toronto Marlies before he returns to the NHL club.
William Nylander also returned to practice on Monday after missing Saturday’s game against the Buffalo Sabres with a lower-body injury. Fellow forward Calle Jarnkrok was absent.
Defenceman Chris Tanev and Scott Laughton skated on their own before practice as both work back from injuries.
