Goalie Garret Sparks re-signs with Maple Leafs; agrees to one-year, two-way deal
TORONTO – Goaltender Garret Sparks agreed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday.
The 23-year-old Sparks had a 6-9-1 record with a 3.02 goals-against average and .893 save percentage in 17 games during his rookie season with the Maple Leafs last year.
He had a 4-4-0 record, a 2.33 GAA, a .928 save percentage and three shutouts in 21 regular season games with the American Hockey League’s Toronto Marlies.
In five playoff appearances with the Marlies, Sparks registered a 2.30 GAA, a .915 save percentage, one shutout and a 2-2-0 record.
On Nov. 30, 2015, Sparks became the first goaltender in Maple Leafs history to record a shutout in his NHL debut.
Sparks was originally selected by Toronto in the seventh round (190th overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
