"Hildeby has won both of his starts with the Marlies this year, posting a 0.97 goals against average and .962 save percentage. Anthony Stolarz is the Maple Leafs' incumbent starter, Cayden Primeau operates as the second-string goalie, while Joseph Woll is working his way back into form after returning from a personal leave of absence. Primeau is expected to make his second start of the year during Saturday's game against the Buffalo Sabres. Hildeby played in six games with the Maple Leafs last season, posting a 3-3-0 record with a .878 save percentage. The 24-year-old signed a three-year extension worth $841,667 annually on September 2. Hildeby is operating on a one-way contract through the 2026-27 season, before his deal converts into a one-way contract for the 2027-28 campaign."
""It was kind of a rollercoaster of a season, a little up and down there," Hildeby said of his 2024-25 season upon signing his contract extension in September. "There was a lot of new stuff I tried to implement into my game that maybe didn't work out at first. Tried a lot of new stuff and figured out my game more. This season is more about getting back to taking all this new stuff and make it come together in a way that works for me.""

Anthony Stolarz is the Maple Leafs' starter, Cayden Primeau is the backup and Joseph Woll is returning from a personal leave. Primeau is expected to start against the Buffalo Sabres. Hildeby appeared in six Maple Leafs games last season (3-3-0, .878 save percentage). The 24-year-old signed a three-year extension worth $841,667 annually and is regarded as a top prospect likely to push for a roster spot while developing with the Marlies.
