Dennis Hildeby - NHL News & Rumors

Sent down to minors Hildeby was reassigned to AHL Toronto on Thursday.

Impact Hildeby's demotion comes as fellow backstop Joseph Woll (groin) was activated off injured reserve in a corresponding move. The 23-year-old Hildeby saw action in two NHL games to start the season, registering a 1-1-0 record, 4.03 GAA and .869 save percentage. With Woll healthy, Hildeby will be hard-pressed to see any more minutes in the NHL and figures to play the bulk of his 2024-25 games in the minors with the Marlies.

Expected to start Thursday Hildeby is expected to make his NHL debut in Thursday's road game against New Jersey, per David Alter of The Hockey News.

Impact Hildeby is getting this opportunity because Joseph Woll is unavailable due to a lower-body injury and Anthony Stolarz was in net Wednesday for Toronto's 1-0 loss to Montreal. The 23-year-old Hildeby did fare well in the AHL during the 2023-24 regular season, posting a 2.41 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 41 contests with the Marlies. However, the Devils are a great offensive team, ranking 12th last season with 3.22 goals per game. New Jersey has also scored a combine seven goals in two victories over Buffalo to begin the 2024-25 campaign.

Up from minors Hildeby was summoned from AHL Toronto on Wednesday, per Mark Masters of TSN.

Impact Hildeby had a 2.41 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 41 regular-season games with the AHL's Marlies in 2023-24. He's projected to serve as the backup goaltender behind Anthony Stolarz for Wednesday's road contest against Montreal because Joseph Woll is dealing with lower-body tightness. Woll hasn't been ruled out for Thursday's game against New Jersey, so this might end up being a brief stint in the NHL for Hildeby.
