Leafs’ Stolarz skates before practice

TORONTO – The Maple Leafs saw a familiar face Tuesday.

Toronto goaltender Anthony Stolarz was on the ice for a roughly 30-minute workout before departing ahead of the main session.

The skate was the first time the 31-year-old has been seen by media members since he left Game 1 of Toronto’s second-round playoff series with Florida after taking an elbow to the head from Panthers centre Sam Bennett.
