Maple Leafs' Stolarz, Marner return against Kraken

The Toronto Maple Leafs are set to have key players Mitch Marner and Anthony Stolarz return for their game against the Seattle Kraken. Marner, who leads the team in scoring and ranks fifth in the NHL with 70 points, missed the previous game due to a lower-body injury. Stolarz, who has been out since December 12 with a knee issue, was among the league's top goaltenders with a 2.15 goals-against average and a .927 save percentage prior to his injury. In his absence, Joseph Woll has stepped up as the primary goaltender, gaining valuable experience and facing a significant increase in workload. Coach Craig Berube confirmed the lineup changes, with Marner set to play on the second line alongside John Tavares and William Nylander, while Stolarz's return aims to bolster the team's goaltending depth. The Leafs are optimistic about Stolarz's performance, recalling his strong contributions earlier in the season.
