The Toronto Marlies continued to plot away at their summer signing season, inking three players to new contracts for next year. One is a returning forward, and the other two are fresh from amateur hockey. Marcus Power, Sergei Sapego, and Maksim Zhukov will all get a shot at the Marlies in training camp, but with the current depth at defense and goalie, along with Power’s ties to St. John’s, all three are expected to play for the Newfoundland Growlers next season.
Power, who will be 26 in two weeks, was one of the Growlers’ leading scorers last season, notching 23 goals and 57 points in 58 games.
