"Stolarz was originally projected to start against the Senators but took a puck to the throat off the stick of forward William Nylander, leading to him leading the ice and seeking medical attention at a hospital."
"Hildeby has statistically been the Leafs' best goaltender this season but hasn't played since Stolarz returned from his nerve issue in late January."
"For what it's worth, though, Stolarz was seen on the ice for Monday's practice wearing a neck guard."
The Toronto Maple Leafs recalled goaltender Dennis Hildeby from the AHL after Anthony Stolarz suffered a throat injury during warmups. Stolarz was expected to start against the Ottawa Senators but was injured by a puck. Joseph Woll replaced him and faced 43 shots in a loss. Stolarz was released from the hospital and met the team afterward. Hildeby's call-up suggests Stolarz will miss at least the next game. Hildeby has been the Leafs' best goaltender this season, with solid statistics in both the NHL and AHL.
