Akhtyamov Steals AHL Lifeline For Marlies

Artur Akhtyamov gave the Marlies exactly the kind of performance that can save a season and change a room in one night. Goalies earn trust the hard way in the minors, and when one stands on his head like this, NHL eyes start drifting south to see what they may have missed. The Maple Leafs know better than anyone that depth gets built on nights like this, and performances this loud usually get noticed upstairs.
