Toronto Maple Leafs sign goaltender Artur Akhtyamov to three-year contract extension
Akhtyamov, 24, has a strong 18-10-4 AHL record and earned a US$900,000 average annual value on a deal boosting goalie competition for the Maple Leafs.
- On Sunday, the Toronto Maple Leafs signed goaltender Artur Akhtyamov to a three-year contract extension after his strong performance with the Toronto Marlies this season.
- Akhtyamov, a fourth-round 2020 draft pick, holds an 18-10-4 record with a 2.86 GAA and.904 save percentage in 32 games while representing Toronto at the 2026 AHL All-Star Classic.
