The reporter Jonas Siegel shared that Martin Jones will get the start tonight.
Recently, Jones has been incredible. He has a solid 6-3-0 record, a 2.20 GAA and a .930 SV% in nine games with the Leafs this season.
Jones also played six seasons with the Sharks in his career.
Jones to Stay Number One Until Woll Comes Back
The goalie lineup for the Leafs isn't quite ideal, with Ilya Samsonov at the Marlies in the AHL, Joseph Woll sidelined with injury, and Dennis Hildeby stepping up to the NHL.
A lot of rumors stated that Hildeby would make his NHL debut in tonight's game, particularly since Jones has played a lot recently and the Sharks aren't the toughest team to beat. But with the Leafs set to take on the Sharks again on Tuesday Hildeby could get his chance sooner than later.
This also leads fans to believe that Keefe will rely heavily on Jones until either Woll or Samsonov is back.
Do you think Hildeby will make his NHL debut against the Sharks on Tuesday?
