The Philadelphia Flyers are locking in one of their prospects.
Forward Ilya Pautov signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Flyers, general manager Daniel Briere announced Monday.
Pautov, 20, has spent his time developing in Russia, most recently with the MHL and VHL (the country's second-highest league), where he split the 2025-26 season.
He had 10 goals and 23 points in 30 MHL games while adding one goal and five points in 25 VHL games.
The Flyers selected Pautov in the sixth round, 173rd overall, of the 2024 draft.
