He was serviceable in the AHL with a 21-12-4 record, a 2.88 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 37 regular-season games. This was his AHL playoff debut.

Sitting duck behind struggling team Akhtyamov made 27 saves in a 6-5 loss to Dallas on Monday.

Impact Akhtyamov tried, but the team in front of him has played such bad hockey in the last few months that the young netminder had no chance. The guy was a sitting duck behind the Eastern Conference's worst and NHL's fourth-worst goal differentials (minus-44). Vancouver (minus-96), Chicago (minus-65) and Calgary (minus-47) are worse. Akhtyamov needs to be avoided.

Set to start Monday Akhtyamov is expected to be between the pipes at home versus the Stars on Monday, Dave McCarthy of NHL.com reports.

Impact Akhtyamov will make his second NHL start, having given up five goals on 44 shots in his debut versus the Islanders on Thursday. Now that the Leafs are out of playoff contention, it makes sense to give the 24-year-old Akhtyamov some extra work, especially with Anthony Stolarz (lower body) done for the season.

Shelled in loss Akhtyamov made 39 saves in a 5-3 loss to the Islanders on Thursday.

Impact Akhtyamov was absolutely shelled in the first period -- the Islanders were inspired by the arrival of new coach Pete DeBoer and outshot the Maple Leafs 23-3. Akhtyamov, in his first NHL start, stopped 21 that frame. The rookie will stick with the team with Anthony Stolarz sidelined with a lower-body injury and waiting on imaging. He will act as a back-up for Joseph Woll.

Starting Thursday's game Akhtyamov will be recalled from AHL Toronto and start Thursday's road game versus the Islanders, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
