Rough game against Orcas Hildeby made 15 saves in a 3-0 loss to Vancouver on Saturday.

Impact The first shot of the game sailed by him off Brock Boeser just 31 seconds into the game. To be honest, it felt a bit like an omen. But the loss wasn't really on Hildeby -- his entire team didn't show up. Hildeby needs to be developing in the minors in order to fulfill his promise. He's a dynasty guy, not a redraft one. He has a 3.18 GAA and .891 save percentage in five starts this season.

Starting Saturday Hildeby will guard the home net Saturday against Vancouver, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact It'll be just the second start in 10 games for Hildeby -- he stopped 30 of 32 shots in an overtime win over the Flyers in his last appearance. Overall, the 23-year-old Hildeby has made four starts this year, going 3-1-0 with an .892 save percentage. He'll face a Canucks team that's scored just one goal in their last two contests.

Secures overtime win Hildeby stopped 30 of 32 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers.

Impact Hildeby made his first NHL start since Dec. 15 and came away with his third win in four outings this season. He allowed the opening goal to Tyson Foerster in the first period and another tally to Scott Laughton in the second. Morgan Rielly had the game-winner at 2:25 of overtime. Hildeby and Matt Murray have been sharing backup duties at the NHL level as well as the starting role for AHL Toronto during the absence of Anthony Stolarz (knee). The Maple Leafs don't have a back-to-back over the next week, so it wouldn't be surprising to see some roster shuffling to keep Hildeby and Murray fresh with AHL games even if Joseph Woll ultimately starts a few games in a row for the big club.

Returned to AHL Hildeby was reassigned to AHL Toronto on Thursday.

Impact The Maple Leafs recalled Matt Murray in a corresponding move and Murray is slated to get one start on the weekend, either against Detroit on Friday or versus Washington on Saturday.

Impact Hildeby has made three appearances for the Leafs this season in which he is sporting a 2-1-0 record, 3.69 GAA and .875 save percentage.

LEAFS NOTES: Gigantic goalie Dennis Hildeby must walk taller to stand out in NHL The lanky Swede has found there's lots of competition with tall goalies in Toronto's stable this season and he needs to keep up.

Earns win Sunday Hildeby stopped 24 of 27 shots in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Sabres.

Hildeby has gone 2-1-0 with a 3.68 GAA and an .875 save percentage in his three appearances in 2024-25. Hildeby will remain as the Maple Leafs' backup as long as Anthony Stolarz (lower body) remains on IR.

Called up by NHL club Hildeby was recalled by the Maple Leafs on Friday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

Impact Anthony Stolarz exited Thursday's game against the Ducks due to a lower-body injury, and the Maple Leafs are still awaiting the results of testing to determine the extent of the issue. Hildeby will join the NHL club to provide additional depth in the net, but Joseph Woll will likely serve as the No. 1 netminder if Stolarz is forced to miss time.

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.

Wins NHL debut Hildeby made 22 saves in a 4-2 win over New Jersey on Thursday.

Impact It was the Hildebeast's NHL debut, and he showed why the Leafs see him in their future. He showed off his ability to go side-to-side and use his 6-foot-7 frame to stymie the Devils' snipers. Hildeby will back-up Anthony Stolarz until Joseph Woll (undisclosed) returns. He's a solid daily play given the strength of Toronto's lineup.
