Leafs ink Malgin to 1-year extension

The Toronto Maple Leafs signed forward Denis Malgin to a one-year, $700,000 extension, the team announced Friday.

Malgin, 23, will become a restricted free agent at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.

Toronto acquired the 5-foot-9 pivot from the Florida Panthers in February. He logged 10:21 of average ice time over eight regular-season games with the Maple Leafs.

Malgin has amassed 28 goals and 60 points over 192 career contests.

The Panthers selected the Swiss native in the fourth round of the 2015 NHL Draft.
