Joseph Woll made his Pro Reads return in late February and was so good again in this format that we went back-to-back with the young Toronto Maple Leafs goalie.

We’re going to go back-to-back with Woll again this week, with a longer bonus breakdown in the coming days, but first a quick hit with tips on managing desperation:
