Just when the points are not that valuable for the Toronto Maple Leafs, they picked up another rare two points Sunday night. They had to beat one of the NHL’s better teams to do so and held off the Minnesota Wild for a 4–2 win in a game that felt a lot closer than the final score suggests.

The Toronto Maple Leafs announced today that the hockey club has re-signed goaltender Artur Akhtyamov to a three-year contract extension. The deal is a two-way contract for the 2026-27 season, followed by a one-way contract in 2027-28 and 2028-29.

The Toronto Maple Leafs and the Minnesota Wild meet Sunday at Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul, Minnesota. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET.

Over the past couple of seasons, the Toronto Maple Leafs have made moves that give you a strange feeling of déjà vu. The trade of Bobby McMann might be one of those moments.

It was an uninspiring home loss for the Wild (38-18-12) against a Leafs team that sits near the bottom of the Eastern Conference (29-27-12) and had lost nine of its last ten games coming into this one. Toronto was also without its best player in Auston Matthews, who will miss the rest of the season after suffering a significant injury this week.

After preferring to stay in Toronto only to be moved at the deadline, Bobby McMann’s two-goal, three-point Seattle Kraken debut on Saturday highlights a stinging trend of former Maple Leafs thriving immediately in their new homes.

Ahead of tonight’s game against the Minnesota Wild, the Toronto Maple Leafs have recalled defenseman Henry Thrun on an emergency basis. He will draw in for blueliner Oliver Ekman-Larsson tonight.
