Leafs Call Up Hildeby, Stolarz's Status Unclear

On March 23rd, the Toronto Maple Leafs have called up gold tender Dennis Hildobee from

their American hockey league affiliate, the Toronto Marlies.

This move comes right before their practice today and the game against the Boston Bruins

tomorrow night.

It all stems from an injury to back up goalie Anthony Stollars during Saturday's matchup

with the Ottawa Senators.

Stollars took a putt to the throat area from a shot by teammate William Nylander.

He headed to the hospital for checks and was released the same night, even flying back

with the team.

Still, the least decided to bring of Hildobee today, even though Stollars joined practice

on the ice.

Fans and analysts see this as a big opportunity for the 24-year-old Hildobee who's earned

it with strong play this season.

In 19 national hockey league games, he has a 564 record, a 0.912 save percentage and

a 2.84.

Goals against average.

In the minors, across 17 games, he's at 755 with a 0.901 save percentage and 2.54 goals

against.

We should learn more about Stollars' condition in the next day or so, including if he's

out and for how long.

That would decide how much time Hildobee gets with the big club.

The Leafs face a tough back-to-back on the road, first against the Bruins on Tuesday, then

the New York Rangers on Wednesday.

Hildobee to possibly see action in one of those, keeping the team steady through this

goal-tending shake-up.
