The Toronto Maple Leafs announced Tuesday that goaltender Anthony Stolarz will be sidelined for a period of four to six weeks.
Medical tests revealed no structural damage to his knee, but he will still need surgery to remove a bone fragment that looks “like a little rock” according to general manager Brad Treliving.
Stolarz was injured last Thursday during the game against the Anaheim Ducks.
