The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed defenceman Marshall Rifai to a two-year contract extension, the team announced Thursday.
The deal, which will begin after this season, will carry an average annual value of $775,000.
Rifai made his NHL debut with the Maple Leafs last season after signing a two-year contract and appeared in two games with the club.
The 26-year-old from Beaconsfield, Que., spent the majority of the year with the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League and recorded 19 points (two goals and 17 assists) in 57 games during the regular season.
He also added four points (three goals and one assist) in three playoff games.
Rifai played three seasons at Harvard University before joining the Marlies in 2022.
