Woll credits Leafs teammates for 1st NHL shutout: 'It was unbelievable'

Goaltender Joseph Woll recorded his first NHL shutout in just his second career start in the Toronto Maple Leafs' 3-0 win over the New York Islanders on Sunday.

The 23-year-old didn't take much of the credit after stopping all 20 shots he faced, instead pointing to his team's effort in front of him.

"It was unbelievable, especially when you see guys going down and blocking shots when it's 3-0 towards the end of the game," Woll said, according to The Hockey News' David Alter. "I think that's really special. I think that's a testament to how strong the culture is and how everyone really likes to support everyone."

His teammates wasted no time to celebrate the accomplishment with Woll both on and off the ice.

Mitch Marner, who scored two goals in the contest, also recognized that the team was on its A-game to make Woll's life a bit easier.

"It's amazing. We talked about how we weren't great last time he was in that net. We gave up a lot of opportunities and didn't really help him much," Marner said.

"Tonight we wanted to come in with a different attitude. I thought we did a pretty good job of that. He still made some very key saves and some big saves on those power plays for them. It's great seeing a kid like that get rewarded. His work ethic is extremely high, he's a great kid to be around and (has) a lot of energy. He deserves it."

The Maple Leafs drafted Woll 62nd overall in 2016. He spent the last two seasons with the AHL's Toronto Marlies but has assumed backup duties to Jack Campbell while Petr Mrazek is sidelined.
