Toronto Maple Leafs forced into grim starting goalie decsion against the Los Angeles Kings

Anthony Stolarz tweaked something in his upper body against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday, and he will not be ready to go tonight.

Joseph Woll still hasn't returned from his conditioning stint, which makes things that much more complicated for the Maple Leafs, who are desperate for a win right now.

This morning, the Maple Leafs were even forced to call up Artur Akhtyamov, who is still just a prospect with the Leafs and is nowhere near NHL-ready.

Given all of this information, it is very easy to deduce who is going to be in between the pipes for the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight against the Los Angeles Kings.

According to Luke Fox of Sportsnet, it is going to be Dennis Hildeby in goal. With this start, it will be his fourth appearance in a row for the Leafs.

In case you haven't been paying attention, Hildeby had to replace Stolarz on Saturday and Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. Meanwhile, he played the entire game against the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday.

At the end of the day, the Toronto Maple Leafs need to win games if they want to get out of the depths of the Atlantic Division.

Unfortunately, with this goaltending duo, that is going to be exceptionally difficult, and it remains to be seen whether or not they can defy the odds and get it done.

The Los Angeles Kings are coming into this game as a hungry team, and they will not let the Maple Leafs off the hook tonight.

Only time will tell whether or not Hildeby can defy the odds, and get a win.
