The Maple Leafs bolstered their goaltending depth by recalling Artur Akhtyamov from AHL Toronto to serve as their third goaltender ahead of their series opener against Ottawa. A fourth-round pick in 2020, Akhtyamov excelled in the VHL before signing a three-year entry-level deal with Toronto in July 2023, having played 26 games for the Marlies this season with a 2.81 GAA and .901 SV%. Meanwhile, netminders Dennis Hildeby and Matt Murray will remain with the Marlies for their upcoming playoff run.
