The 24-year-old netminder is easily in the midst of the best season of his young career, posting a .914 SV% across 16 appearances. Hildeby and the Maple Leafs enter action on Tuesday at +125 on the money line.

He has a 2.90 GAA and .912 SV% in 15 appearances this season (3-5-4).

On the tail end of a back-to-back, the Maple Leafs will turn to Hildeby on Sunday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 24-year-old Hildeby was excellent as Toronto’s de facto starting goalie while Joseph Woll was injured, posting a 1.05 GAA and a .958 SV% in six outings (3-1-2), but has struggled since, losing three straight (0-3-0) while posting a 4.70 GAA and .928 SV%.

Joseph Woll played well in his return from a lower-body injury in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks, but the Maple Leafs seem to be easing the often-injured netminder back into action, turning to Hildeby on Thursday against the Washington Capitals. The 24-year-old Hildeby struggled in his most recent outing, allowing six goals on 32 shots (.813 SV%) in a 6-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. That said, the Swedish netminder had been excellent between the pipes, posting a 1.85 GAA and .933 SV% in 10 games (3-4-3) before his blip against the Oilers. The Maple Leafs enter the action on Thursday as +135 road underdogs against a Capitals team that has been outscored 10-1 in their last two games (0-2-0).

Joseph Woll (lower body) is nearing a return, but is not eligible to be activated from Injured Reserve yet, leaving the Maple Leafs' crease to Hildeby on Thursday against the San Jose Sharks.

He has a 2.15 GAA and .936 SV% in nine appearances this season (2-2-2). The Maple Leafs enter the action on Thursday as sizable -193 home favorites against a Sharks team that has scored fewer than two goals in three of their last four games (1-3-0).
