The Toronto Maple Leafs have been able to overcome injuries to their top two goaltenders, and they look to continue that trend Thursday night against the visiting San Jose Sharks.

With Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll out injured, the starting role fell to Dennis Hildeby.

Hildeby has a 2-2-2 record with a 2.15 goals-against average and .936 save percentag
