With Casey DeSmith sick, Hellberg comes up from the AHL, presumably to serve as Jake Oettinger's backup on Saturday. Hellberg has gone 9-3-1 with a 3.08 GAA and .904 SV% in 13 AHL games this season.
Brown has appeared in just three games for the Oilers this season, with his last appearance coming on November 21st. He has no goals, three assists, and 50 penalty minutes in 16 AHL games this season.
Lee made his NHL debut this season, scoring two points (0G / 2A) in 16 games with the Kings. The 24-year-old has spent most of the previous three seasons in the AHL with the Ontario Reign, including scoring two points (1G / 1A) in four games this season.
With Dan Vladar (lower body) day-to-day, the Flames have recalled Cooley from the Calgary Wranglers (AHL). That said, if Vladar misses any time, Dustin Wolf will likely see all the action between the pipes for the Flames. The 27-year-old Cooley has a 1.80 GAA and .942 SV% in 18 games (14-3-0) with the Wranglers.
Stolarz suffered a lower-body injury in Thursday's game against the Anaheim Ducks and did not return. There has not been a concrete update on Stolarz yet but Hildeby's call-up likely indicates that he will not be ready for the Maple Leafs' upcoming game on Saturday. The 23-year-old Hildeby has a 2.73 GAA and .897 SV% in six games (2-2-2) with the Toronto Marlies (AHL) this season.
