Signed a two-year contract with CSKA Moscow of the KHL in July of 2025.
Off to KHL
Martin signed a two-year contract with CSKA Moscow of the KHL on Wednesday, Tony Androckitis of Inside AHL Hockey reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin made nine appearances at the NHL level in 2024-25, but he struggled to a 3-4-1 record with a 3.89 GAA and an .846 save percentage. He'll take his services overseas to one of the KHL's stronger teams. At 30 years old, it's possible Martin has played his last NHL game, though a strong performance in Russia could carve a path for him to come back to North America at some point.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Martin registered a 3-8-1 record with a 3.65 GAA and a .887 save percentage in 13 appearances for Columbus before being claimed off waivers by Carolina. As a member of the Hurricanes, he went 4-1-1 with a 2.63 GAA and a .896 save percentage. The organization promptly signed Martin to a one-year contract extension in March. Carolina desperately needed goaltending depth because of Frederik Andersen's blood clotting issue. In fact, Andersen has been limited to 50 appearances over the past two seasons, and more absences would lead to more opportunities for Martin and Pyotr Kochetkov in 2024-25. The 29-year-old Martin could be a solid waiver option, but he is firmly entrenched in the No. 3 spot on the goaltending depth chart going into the upcoming campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Moving on from Carolina
Martin will pursue a new opportunity, closing the door on his return to the Hurricanes, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Martin's exit from the Hurricanes was already expected after the team acquired Cayden Primeau from the Canadiens. There are some teams that need goaltending depth, so Martin should be able to find an NHL deal for 2025-26 despite his 3.89 GAA and .846 save percentage over nine games behind a good team last year.
