Hildeby made 22 saves in a 4-2 win over New Jersey on Thursday.
It was the Hildebeast's NHL debut, and he showed why the Leafs see him in their future. He showed off his ability to go side-to-side and use his 6-foot-7 frame to stymie the Devils' snipers. Hildeby will back-up Anthony Stolarz until Joseph Woll (undisclosed) returns. He's a solid daily play given the strength of Toronto's lineup.
