Numbers Are Revealed in Bruins' Marat Khusnutdinov Extension

We first heard about the possibility on Tuesday. Now the details are in, per two new reports, on the new extension in Boston for young Bruins forward Marat Khusnutdinov. It'll be a three-year deal with a $3.95 million AAV, according to Emilly Kaplan. That sounds like a nice, team-friendly contract considering where salaries have been going of late, even for non-stars.

The 24-year-old has proven his versatility as both a center and winger, as well as his ability to play on the penalty kill. He has two goals and five points through 10 games this season with a +6 rating, in 13:41 average ice time.

He's currently residing on the Bruins' second line alongside center Fraser Minten and right wing Morgan Geekie. 

Khusnutdinov is coming off a breakout season last year, with career highs of 15 goals and 33 points and a plus/minus rating of +12. He averaged 14:30 of ice time per night.

He was due to become a restricted free agent with arbitration rights next summer. He's wrapping up a two-year, $1.85 million deal ($925,000 cap hit). 

He was acquired by the Bruins in a deadline deal with the Minnesota Wild in March of 2025.
