The Maple Leafs will also have an amateur serving as backup for the third consecutive game after signing Ontario Hockey League netminder Matt Onuska to a tryout Tuesday.
Onuska, 20, had a 17-11-4 record with a .868 save percentage and a 4.44 goals-against average for the Windsor Spitfires this season.
Ilya Samsonov started Toronto’s last three games, including Monday night against the Florida Panthers. Matt Murray is out with a concussion.
Woll, 24, has four wins, a .932 save percentage and a 2.02 goals-against average in five appearances with the Maple Leafs this season.
The Maple Leafs are locked in to first-round playoff series with the Lightning beginning next week. Toronto, which has two regular-season games remaining, will have home-ice advantage.
