Dennis Hildeby Set for Maple Leafs Season Debut, Signs New Three-Year Deal

Dennis Hildeby is on the cusp of his Toronto Maple Leafs season debut, set to back up Anthony Stolarz against the Boston Bruins and is highly likely to start against the Carolina Hurricanes on November 9th. The 24-year-old goaltender recently signed a new three-year, $2.53 million extension, carrying an average annual value of $841,667 at the NHL level. His imminent call-up follows Cayden Primeau being placed on waivers and Joseph Woll's conditioning stint with the Marlies. Hildeby previously backed up on October 25th and has posted a 2-2-1 record with an .890 save percentage for the Marlies this season, alongside a .920 save percentage in three preseason games.
