Maple Leafs' Stolarz day-to-day with lower-body injury

December 13, 2024 - 2:49pm

Maple Leafs HC Craig Berube says he's confident in Dennis Hildeby as a backup netminder while Anthony Stolarz recovers from his minor injury.

It doesn't sound like Anthony Stolarz will be out for a lengthy stretch.

Toronto Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube told reporters Friday that the team received good news on the goaltender, who is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

Stolarz suffered the injury in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks and was replaced by Joseph Woll.

Earlier Friday, the Leafs recalled Dennis Hiledeby from the AHL's Toronto Marlies on an emergency basis.

Stolarz is 9-5-2 with a 2.15 goals-against average and .927 save percentage this season.

Meanwhile, Berube is hopeful forward Bobby McMann will be able to return from a groin injury Saturday against the Detroit Red Wings. McMann has been out since Nov. 27.
