"We just want to see him. I really liked him right from camp. He backed up a couple of times this year. He has a great personality. He has played well down there, and he is a competitor. He really has fast reflexes and is competitive as hell. I like the kid a lot."
"As of now, it's lower body. He's out. I don't know right now about the rest of the season. He'll get some imaging done. It was tough. I feel for Joe Woll having to go in there, too, but obviously, Anthony couldn't go. It's unfortunate. He has been hurt a few times this year."
Artur Akhtyamov is set to make his NHL starting debut for the Toronto Maple Leafs against the New York Islanders. He replaces Anthony Stolarz, who is sidelined with a lower-body injury sustained during a recent game. Head coach Craig Berube expressed confidence in Akhtyamov, praising his competitive nature and performance in the AHL. Akhtyamov has shown promise this season, earning a contract extension and recognition as an AHL All-Star. The decision to start him comes as the team has limited games remaining this season.
