"The goaltender was put on waivers by the Hurricanes on October 6 and claimed by the Maple Leafs, who just had Joseph Woll leave the team to a personal matter at the beginning of the month. The Leafs felt that Dennis Hildeby, who served as the team's third goalie in a similar situation last season, would benefit more from starting the season with the Marlies, and opted for somebody with more NHL experience to back up Stolarz at the beginning of the year."
"Although Primeau won two of the three games he started as a Leaf, it was a rough go for the netminder from a statistical standpoint, with a save percentage of .838 and a goals-against average of 4.30. With a full crease 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 be getting much NHL action anytime soon."
"With Joseph Woll on a conditioning stint with the AHL's Toronto Marlies and the news that goaltender Anthony Stolarz will be starting in net for Saturday's game against the Boston Bruins, Hildeby is likely in line to make his season debut against the Hurricanes on Sunday. The goaltender has a 2-2-1 record in five games with the Marlies along with a SV% of .890 and a GAA of 2.70."
Cayden Primeau, claimed by the Toronto Maple Leafs after being placed on waivers by the Carolina Hurricanes on October 6, has been returned to Carolina after roughly one month and three starts with Toronto. Primeau posted a .838 save percentage and a 4.30 goals-against average in those appearances despite winning two games. The Maple Leafs recalled Dennis Hildeby from the AHL’s Toronto Marlies; Hildeby has a 2-2-1 record, a .890 SV% and a 2.70 GAA in five Marlies games. Joseph Woll is on an AHL conditioning stint and Anthony Stolarz will start Saturday’s game, with Hildeby likely to debut Sunday against Carolina.
