Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Dennis Hildeby was put through the ringer during the 2024-25 season and he knows it.
The 24-year-old netminder was back and forth between the NHL and the AHL for a period of time during the season and aside from physically being inconsistent, his play reflected that as well. He would have stretches of games like he did in early March for the Toronto Marlies, where his worst start was against the Cleveland Monsters and he saved 29 of 32 shots he faced. That was the worst display among some other times he led in just one single goal while facing a barrage of pucks.
