771-game NHL veteran signs in American Hockey League after successful PTO

After a successful professional try-out (PTO) in the American Hockey League, 771-game NHL veteran Artem Anisimov has agreed to sign an AHL contract with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.

Anisimov spent the 2021-22 season in the KHL with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl and returned to North America this fall, signing a PTO with the Philadelphia. He suffered a broken bone in his foot during a pre-season game against Boston on September 24th and didn't appear for again for the Flyers, despite them not officially releasing him from his PTO.

Just over a month ago after recovering from his injury, Anisimov signed a professional try-out contract with the Phantoms and it went very well. The Yaroslavl native said that he's enjoying his time with Lehigh Valley and is happy they offered him a contract.

In seven games with the Phantoms, the 34-year-old has eight points (five goals, three assists), no penalty minutes and is a plus-three.
