TORONTO – The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed goaltender Dennis Hildeby to a three-year contract extension, the team announced Tuesday.

The deal is a two-way contract for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 seasons, followed by a one-way contract in 2027-28, carrying an average annual value of US$841,667.

Hildeby had a 16-9-4 record with a 2.55 goals-against average, .908 save percentage and two shutouts in 30 regular-season games with the American Hockey League’s Toronto Marlies last season.
