The Maple Leafs have recalled G Dennis Hildeby from the Toronto Marlies (AHL). G Cayden Primeau has been claimed off waivers by the Carolina Hurricanes.
The goaltender was waived off waivers by the Hurricanes on October 6 and claimed by the Maple Leafs, who had just let Joseph Woll leave the team early this month due to a personal matter. The Leafs felt that Dennis Hildeby, who was the team’s third goalie in a similar situation last season, would benefit more from starting the season with the Marlies, and early this year selected someone with more NHL experience to back up Stolarz.
Although Primeau won two of the three games he started as a Leaf, it was a tough stretch for the netminder from a statistical standpoint, with a save percentage of .838 and a goals-against average of 4.30. With a complete rift in Carolina between Frederik Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov, who is now healthy after missing part of the season due to injury, Primeau likely won’t see much NHL action anytime soon.
With Joseph Woll conditioning with the AHL’s Toronto Marlies and the news that goaltender Anthony Stolarz will start in net for Saturday’s game against the Boston Bruins, Hildeby is likely set to make his season debut on Sunday against the Hurricanes. The goaltender has a 2-2-1 record in five games with the Marlies, along with an SV% of .890 and a GAA of 2.70. He started six games with the Maple Leafs last season and posted a 3-3-0 record with an .878 SV% and a 3.16 GAA.
The Maple Leafs will wrap up a four-game homestand this weekend with tilts against the Bruins and Hurricanes before traveling to Boston to play the Bruins again on Tuesday.
