TORONTO — Anthony Stolarz took to the ice before the Toronto Maple Leafs held an optional practice on Tuesday morning, a positive step toward his return from a suspected head injury.
Stolarz hadn’t been seen around the team since getting knocked out of Game 1 of the Leafs’ second-round series with the Florida Panthers on May 5. He was taken to hospital for evaluation that night after getting hit in the mask by a Sam Reinhart shot and taking Sam Bennett’s forearm to the head, which left Stolarz throwing up on his team’s bench.

The return-to-play progression for NHL players with head injuries typically lasts at least seven days. The league’s Concussion Evaluation and Management Protocol outlines a six-step evaluation process in which exercise, intensity and contact are steadily increased in 24-hour increments to gauge whether post-concussion symptoms are still present.
The fact Stolarz hadn’t been skating before Saturday, according to Leafs coach Craig Berube, is a sign that he is progressing through the protocol toward a return to live game action.
Stolarz is 4-2-0 with a .901 save percentage in seven appearances this postseason.
Joseph Woll has started for the Leafs in his place and is coming off a 35-save effort on Sunday night.
The series is tied 2-2 ahead of Game 5 on Wednesday.

2025 Fantasy Football Sleepers 1.0 from Jamey Eisenberg: Justin Fields’ legs gives him top-10 upside, and more
USA Today It's time for Round 2 of sleepers for this season, and this is the first edition following free agency and the NFL Draft. Obviously, a lot has changed since Sleepers 1.0 (INSERT LINK HERE), especially with the rookies, and these are players you should plan to target with mid- to late-round picks. Once we get legitimate Average Draft Position data then we can truly define sleepers for this year. For now, these are players that I anticipate being drafted after Round 8 based on mock drafts we've done with our CBS Sports staff, as well as drafts that I've participated in with other analysts for different publications. The outlooks for several of these players could change through minicamps and off-season workouts. And we'll adjust with another version of sleepers during training camp to get you prepared for your […]

Muller define três clubes ameaçados no Brasileirão: “Um dos grandes vai cair”
Muller, comentarista da TV Gazeta (Reprodução) Muller prevê que, em 2025, um dos grandes clubes do Brasileirão será rebaixado. Embora o campeonato esteja no início, o ex-jogador trouxe um aviso para três times fortemente ameaçados pelo Z-4. Inicialmente, Grêmio e Santos, acumulando atuações irregulares nas oito primeiras rodadas, foram incluídos no grupo que podem encarar um cenário melancólico no final do ano. “Um dos grandes vai cair neste ano de novo. Grêmio, Santos… se os times grandes não abrirem o olho. ‘Ah, o campeonato tá começando, eu posso errar’. O Santos só tem uma vitória no campeonato. Essa poupança de derrotas faz falta lá na frente. Tem o critério de desempate de vitórias e saldo de gols.”, disse Muller, no podcast Tá na Área, da Gazeta Esportiva.

Jayson Tatum’s Achilles injury is a devastating blow to the Celtics’ future and a star in his prime
Midway through the fourth quarter in Game 4 of an Eastern Conference semifinal series, Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum drove left, split the defense and muscled home a layup, tying Larry Bird and John Havlicek for the most 40-point playoff games in franchise history. The prime of his career had just begun.This was the next Celtics legend, scripting his legacy in real time for the NBA's defending champions.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWriting that last part in the past tense is hard but now necessary, as only a few minutes later Tatum ruptured his right Achilles tendon while chasing a loose ball late in a 121-113 loss to the New York Knicks. The Celtics now trail the Knicks in the best-of-seven set, 3-1, but the outcome on the court is secondary.As teammate Al Horford told reporters, "The loss is the loss. More importantly, you know, […]
