Maple Leafs G Anthony Stolarz (head) not ruled out for Game 2

Mandatory Credit: John E. Sokolowski-Imagn Images The Toronto Maple Leafs have yet to determine Anthony Stolarz’s status for Game 2 of their second-round playoff series against the Florida Panthers after the No. 1 goaltender was knocked out of Game 1 with an apparent head injury.
Speaking to reporters Tuesday, coach Craig Berube said that the team did not yet know if Stolarz had a concussion, and he declined to rule him out for Wednesday’s game.
TSN reported that Stolarz was helped out of the arena on a stretcher after Toronto’s 5-4 win in on Monday and taken to a local hospital. Stolarz has since been released from the hospital and was in the team facility Tuesday.
“I think he’s doing well. I’ll allow coach to give any updates on that,” Maple Leafs defenseman Brandon Carlo said. “But, overall, I liked the way that he looked this morning when I got to see him for a smile at breakfast, so that’s always a good thing.”
Stolarz stopped eight of nine shots before exiting midway through the second period, a few minutes after Panthers center Sam Bennett hit him in the back of the head with his elbow as he was skating by. No penalty was called on the play.
Television cameras caught Stolarz vomiting into a bucket near the Maple Leafs’ bench before the team pulled him from the game.
Joseph Woll, in his first NHL game since April 17, made 17 saves but allowed three goals in relief. The Maple Leafs will turn to Woll in Game 2 if Stolarz can’t go.
Bennett and Stolarz were teammates last season — Stolarz was the No. 2 goaltender on a Florida squad that won the first Stanley Cup in franchise history — and Bennett said Thursday that he reached out to the goaltender privately.
“Stolie’s a good friend of mine. I reached out to him. He responded,” Bennett said. “Obviously, you never want to see an injury like that. From my point of view, I’m taking a puck to the net. I didn’t even know we made contact until after. I’m on the power play. I’m trying to score.”
Berube, though, called the elbow to the head “clear as day” and called on the league’s Department of Player Safety to investigate the play.

Mandatory Credit: Nick Wosika-Imagn Images World No. 13 golfer Brooke Henderson announced her engagement to Minnesota Twins prospect Ricky Castro over social media.
The pair’s post on Instagram Sunday came one week after Henderson nearly won the Evian Championship, losing in a playoff to Haeran Ryu of South Korea. Henderson officially became engaged two days later.
“Engaged! 7/14/26. The beginning of forever,” the post began. “We are beyond excited and blessed to announce our engagement with one another! God is so good for giving us each other!”
The couple started dating in March 2025 after meeting in Naples, Fla., where Henderson has a home.
Henderson, 28, has two major titles (2016 Women’s PGA Championship, 2022 Evian Championship) among her 14 wins on the LPGA Tour. The Canadian’s most recent victory came on home soil at the CPKC Women’s Open in August 2025 in Mississauga, Ontario.
Castro, 26, is a right-hander currently pitching for Triple-A St. Paul, where he is 2-1 with a 4.13 ERA in 10 appearances (four starts) with the Saints.

Gotham FC head coach taking 5-week parental leave
Nov 22, 2025; San Jose, California, USA; Gotham FC head coach Juan Carlos Amoros speaks to media after defeating the Washington Spirit in the 2025 NWSL Championship at PayPal Park. Mandatory Credit: Darren Yamashita-Imagn Images Gotham FC head coach Juan Carlos Amoros began a five-week parental leave on Monday following the birth of his family’s second child.
The NWSL club announced that lead assistant coach Shaun Harris will serve as acting coach until Amoros returns in early September.
“I’m incredibly grateful to everyone at Gotham FC for supporting us unconditionally while we were deciding to take this step,” Amoros said. “This is a personal decision for our family, but I also recognize the visibility that comes with my role. When fathers take parental leave, particularly men in leadership positions, it helps normalize an important principle: Caring for children is a shared responsibility between parents. I need to be there for my family.”
Amoros, 42, has coached Gotham since 2023 and guided the squad to league championships in 2023 and 2025. He was the 2023 NWSL Coach of the Year.
“We are proud to be a club that recognizes that creating an equitable environment requires supporting all parents,” said Yael Averbuch West, president of soccer operations for Gotham FC. “We appreciate that Juan is using his platform to reinforce that message. We have great confidence in Shaun and our entire technical staff to continue leading the team during this period, and we look forward to welcoming Juan back in September.”
Harris served as acting head coach for three matches earlier this season and has been with the club for three years.
