Sheldon Keefe on the plan in goal after calling up Dennis Hildeby: “We’ll get him up to speed at the NHL level… NHL shooters are a different animal as he may have learned when Auston came down and blew one by him in one of the first drills”

What is your first impression of Dennis Hildeby?

Keefe: Obviously, it is not my first impression. He has been with us. We have been watching and monitoring him closely.

The size stands out. That would be the first and obvious thing when you meet him or see him on the ice. The other piece is that he has just got a great demeanor about him and a great attitude.
