Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Anthony Stolarz is eying the possibility of long-term security for the first time in his NHL career.

The 31-year-old native of Edison, New Jersey is entering the final season of a two-year, $5 million contract signed with the Maple Leafs ahead of last season.

After putting up a career season in 2024-25, including a 21-8-3 record with a 2.14 goals-against average, .926 save percentage and four shutouts, Stolarz could be in line for a multiyear extension.

A Stanley Cup champion with the Florida Panthers in 2024, Stolarz has never signed a contract longer than two years over his eight-year career.

“I think that’s kind of the goal for every player in this league,” Stolarz told NHL.com. “You know, it’s tough to make it but it’s even tougher to stay. I’ve obviously learned that throughout my career. I’ve been on waivers a few times, I’ve been traded, so for me to be able to potentially call a place home for more than a year or two would be huge for me.

“I’ll let my agent kind of work things out. I will say we’ve had some good talks, but once the season starts, I kind of just want to focus on that and just worry about our end goal, which is the Stanley Cup.”

Insiders Roundtable: How will Leafs fix log jam up front? Bryan Hayes, Jamie McLennan and Frank Corrado are joined by TSN Hockey Insiders Darren Dreger and Chris Johnston to discuss Easton Cowan playing in his third straight preseason game, is there room on the Maple Leafs for both Cowan and Nick Robertson and the futures of David Kampf and Calle Jarnkrok.

After sharing the net with Joseph Woll for most of last season, Stolarz is slated to get the lion’s share of the work to start the 2025-26 campaign as Woll has taken a leave of absence to attend to a family matter.

There is no timetable for his return.

“For him, just going to let him figure things out,” Stolarz said. “We’re going to miss him for sure. But knowing the person he is, he’s going to be ready when he gets back, and we’re going to welcome him with open arms.

“We kind of hit it off last year at camp and it really became a good relationship that we have. Off the ice we can talk about anything. On the ice, it’s always been a competition with us driving each other to be better and make the team better.”

Stolarz helped the Maple Leafs defeat the Ottawa Senators in six games in the first-round of last spring’s Stanley Cup Playoffs, but was injured in Game 1 against the Panthers after former teammate Sam Bennett collided with the back of his head.

Stolarz missed the remainder of the series as a result.

The Maple Leafs have three preseason games remaining before hosting the rival Montreal Canadiens in their season opener on Oct. 8.
