Hurricanes Reclaim Cayden Primeau Off Waivers as Maple Leafs Turn to Dennis Hildeby

Waiver rules let Carolina place Primeau with AHL Chicago once no other team submitted a claim.

Overview

  • Leafs PR confirmed Toronto recalled Dennis Hildeby from the Marlies to serve as the short‑term backup.
  • Reports indicate the Hurricanes assigned Primeau to the AHL’s Chicago Wolves under the reclaim provision.
  • Primeau went 2-1-0 in three appearances for Toronto with a 4.30 goals‑against average and roughly an .836–.838 save percentage.
