was an emergency call-up for the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night October 17, 2013, after starting goalie James Reimer headed to the locker room following a collision 32 seconds into the game. He served as Jonathan Bernier's back up as the Leafs fell 3-2 to the Carolina Hurricanes. "It was definitely quite the turn events," said Willows after the game. "I was out with some of the boys for dinner after practice and my phone went off with a call from coach Darren Lowe. He told me that one of their goalies went down and that they needed me. I sprinted down Bloor Street in the next 45 seconds and we jumped in the truck and got down there right away." Willows was dressed and ready to go in the locker room for the remainder of the game.
