The Toronto Maple Leafs have recalled goaltender Dennis Hildeby from the Toronto Marlies, while Matt Murray has been returned to the AHL affiliate. This move comes ahead of the team's practice on Monday afternoon.

Matt Murray has been recalled by the Toronto Maple Leafs, while fellow goaltender Dennis Hildeby has been sent to the AHL’s Toronto Marlies, the Maple Leafs confirmed Thursday.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have sent Dennis Hildeby to the Toronto Marlies and re-called Matt Murray, the club announced on Thursday. Hildeby is expected to start when the AHL club hosts the Belleville Senators at Scotiabank Arena as part of the Marlies' annual holiday game at the NHL venue.

The Hildebeast is getting his fourth start of the season. Toronto Maple Leafs had coach Craig Berube confirmed to reporters after the team’s morning skate that goaltender Dennis Hildeby will start Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Not that it was unexpected, but the Maple Leafs gave veteran goaltender Matt Murray a late Christmas present on Boxing Day. The Leafs recalled Murray from the Toronto Marlies, with a start in one of the club’s games in its back-to-back set this weekend likely for the 30-year-old.

However, the Flyers undoubtedly face a massive challenge in this matchup. With a 25-13-2 record, the Maple Leafs are having an excellent season thus far. They are also red-hot right now, having won each of their last three games and seven out of their last ten.
