Overview
- Toronto reassigned Dennis Hildeby to the AHL on Sunday morning after a brief NHL stint.
- He was recalled Saturday to back up Cayden Primeau as Anthony Stolarz received a rest day and he dressed for a 4-3 overtime win over the Sabres.
- Reporting indicates the team likely used a CBA provision that permits a 24th goalie for up to 48 hours and only twice per season.
- Hildeby is expected to spend most of the season with the Marlies, where he has started 2-0 with a 0.97 goals-against average and .962 save percentage.
- With Joseph Woll working back from a personal leave, Stolarz has carried most starts, Primeau is serving as backup, and Artur Akhtyamov started for the Marlies in a 4-2 loss to Belleville during Hildeby’s recall.
