Toronto Maple Leafs transferred the Russian attacker Nikita Grebenkina at the Toronto Marlies farm club, which plays in the AHL, according to the team’s website.
Last season, the 21-year-old striker won the Gagarin Cup with Metallurg Magnitogorsk. He scored 41 (19+22) points in 67 KHL regular season games, adding 6 (3+3) points in 23 playoff games. On April 29, the hockey player signed a three-year entry-level contract with Toronto with an average salary of $875,000.
During the preparatory match against Ottawa (5:6 OT), Grebenkin fought with American forward Adam Gaudette.
The Toronto farm club will also have two Russian goalkeepers – Vyacheslav Peksa and Artur Akhtyamov.
The new NHL season began on October 4. In the first match, New Jersey defeated Buffalo with a score of 4: 1. The meeting took place in Prague.
