The 20-year-old skated on a line with Nicolas Roy and Sammy Blais at practice.
Woll has yet to play a game in the NHL this season and appeared in two games with the Marlies, he played 36 minutes in his first start before making a complete start against the Grand Rapids Griffins. He made 46 saves on 52 shots and had an 0-1-1 record.
The 27-year-old had a 27-14-1 record with a .909 SP last season. His return is welcome for Toronto as Anthony Stolarz is out with an upper-body injury.
Akhtyamov has a 4-2 record with a .894 SP and 2.82 GAA in six appearances with the Marlies this season.
The other half of the Marlies’ tandem, Dennis Hildeby, remains with the Maple Leafs.
