Dennis Hildeby backstops Toronto Marlies to unlikely victory over Manitoba
Briefly

It was a little sloppy, to be honest... Dennis Hildeby made those late third-period saves at this time of the year is huge. We've only got 10 games left and need all the points we can get.
Sometimes, a team needs a goalie to steal a game while being opportunistic with its scoring chances offensively. Dennis Hildeby earned Toronto a big two points in this 2-1 overtime victory.
Their first was an individual effort on the first shift for debutant Matthew Barbolini, who evaded one defender on a drive to the net and forced Thomas Milic into a decent save.
In a rare moment of offensive clarity, Mikko Kokkoken's shot from the right circle resulted in a rebound. Logan Shaw couldn't finish it off, but Nick Abruzzese kept the play alive and sent the puck back toward the net. Tate Singleton applied the finishing touch to register his first AHL goal.
