Spencer Martin's KHL Stint with CSKA Moscow Ends After 14 Games

Canadian goaltender Spencer Martin, 30, has been released by CSKA Moscow, concluding his KHL journey after 14 appearances. Martin had a goals-against average of 2.69 and a save percentage of .905 with two shutouts. His tenure was cut short amidst team struggles and the emergence of younger netminder Dmitri Gazmin. Martin previously played 66 NHL games for the Avalanche, Canucks, Blue Jackets, and Hurricanes from 2016 to 2025, posting a 24-30-8 record with a 3.31 GAA and .833 save percentage. His NHL career included a notable six-game stint with Vancouver in 2021-22 where he recorded a 1.74 GAA and .950 save percentage, but his play suffered when he took over the starting role due to an injury to Thatcher Demko the following season.
