Dennis Hildeby Fantasy Stats

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Dennis Hildeby stopped all 29 shots against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday to record his first career shutout in a 2-0 victory. With Joseph Woll (lower body) and Anthony Stolarz (upper body) sidelined, Hildeby made his fifth start of the campaign and improved to 2-2-2. The 24-year-old Swedish native boasts a 2.16 goals-against average and a .936 save percentage. He currently looks like a great option between the sticks for fantasy managers. Next up, Hildeby will face the San Jose Sharks on Thursday if neither Woll nor Stolarz returns.

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Dennis Hildeby signed a three-year, $2.525 million extension on Tuesday. It's a two-way deal for the first two years before converting into a one-way contract for the 2027-28 campaign. Hildeby was a restricted free agent after making his first six NHL appearances last season. He posted a 3-3-0 record, a 3.33 goals-against average, and a .878 save percentage. In the AHL, Hildeby had a 16-9-4 record with a 2.55 goals-against average, a .908 save percentage, and two shutouts. During the upcoming season, Hildeby will continue to develop his game in the minors but may also see some NHL action, depending on the status of Toronto's top goalies, Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll.
