The Boston Bruins have signed forward Marat Khusnutdinov to a three-year, $11.85 million extension, the team announced on Wednesday.

Khusnutdinov, 24, was set to become a restricted free agent at season’s end. He will still be an RFA at the conclusion of the new deal in the summer of 2030.

A native of Moscow, Khusnutdinov is in his fourth NHL season and third with the Bruins. Through 10 games in 2026-2027, Khusnutdinov has two goals and three assists.

Originally selected with the 37^th overall pick of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, Khusnutdinov was dealt to the Bruins by the Minnesota Wild at the 2025 trade deadline as part of a trade that sent Justin Brazeau the other way.

In 178 career games, Khusnutdinov has 23 goals and 31 assists.

Internationally, Khusnutdinov has represented Russia at a number of youth levels and was a member of the squad at the 2021 IIHF World Juniors in Edmonton.
