| June 29, 2026 | Miftakhov didn't receive a qualifying offer from Carolina and will become an unrestricted free agent Wednesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports. - Miftakhov hasn't yet made his NHL debut, but he was a decent contributor during his first year with AHL Chicago in 2025-26, going 12-8-7 with a 3.25 GAA and .888 save percentage. He'll be able to seek out other opportunities ahead of the 2026-27 campaign but will likely need to settle for a minor-league role once again. | None |
| June 12, 2026 | Miftakhov was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Friday, per AHL.com. - Miftakhov gave the Canes four goaltenders on the roster ahead of Game 5 versus Vegas on Thursday, but he is expected to link back up with the Wolves, who are playing in the Calder Cup Finals. In 28 regular-season games for AHL Chicago this year, the 26-year-old backstop went 12-8-7 with a 3.25 GAA and .888 save percentage. | None |
| June 11, 2026 | Miftakhov was promoted from AHL Chicago on Thursday, per Patrick Williams of TheAHL.com. - The Wolves are set to play AHL Toronto in Game 1 of the Calder Cup FInals on Friday, so Miftakhov's promotion is somewhat surprising. Miftakhov has a 2.36 GAA and a .940 save percentage in three AHL playoff outings this year, and he played in Games 6 and 7 of the Western Conference Finals. If Carolina is promoting him despite his worth to AHL Chicago, then the Hurricanes might be dealing with a goaltender injury. Aside from Miftakhov, netminders Frederik Andersen, Brandon Bussi and Pyotr Kochetkov are on Carolina's active roster. | None |
| April 18, 2026 | Miftakhov recorded a 20-save shutout in AHL Chicago's 3-0 win over Milwaukee on Saturday. - This was Miftakhov's 50th career AHL game. He's up to 12-8-7 with a 3.25 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 28 outings this season, which includes a pair of shutouts. Miftakhov and Cayden Primeau will handle the goaltending for the Wolves without having to interrupt the team's rhythm, as the Hurricanes already have three goalies on their NHL roster for the playoffs. | None |
| Nov. 8, 2025 | Miftakhov posted a 25-save shutout in AHL Chicago's 4-0 win over Iowa on Saturday. - This was a timely shutout for Miftakhov, as the Hurricanes reclaimed Cayden Primeau off waivers from the Maple Leafs on Saturday. Primeau didn't receive a claim from any other team, so he will be joining the Wolves, but Miftakhov probably won't be fully pushed aside. Through six outings, Miftakhov has a 3-2-1 record with a 2.65 GAA and an .897 save percentage. However, with Brandon Bussi in the NHL alongside Frederik Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov, Miftakhov is no higher than fifth on the Hurricanes' organizational depth chart in goal. | None |
| Sept. 28, 2025 | Miftakhov has been assigned to AHL Chicago, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports. - Miftakhov is back in North America on a one-year, two-way contract with the Hurricanes after spending the past three years in the KHL. The 25-year-old seems to be the fourth-string goaltender on the organization's depth chart, so he will likely spend the vast majority of the season with Chicago. He posted a 13-11-3 record, 2.18 GAA and .927 save percentage in 30 regular-season games with Ak Bars Kazan last year. | None |
| Sept. 26, 2025 | Miftakhov will start in Friday's road preseason game versus the Lightning, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports. - Miftakhov struggled in his first preseason action, allowing three goals on seven shots. The 25-year-old netminder will likely begin the year with AHL Chicago unless Pyotr Kochetkov's (undisclosed) injury lingers into the regular season. | None |
| July 1, 2025 | Miftakhov signed a one-year, two-way contract with Carolina on Tuesday, according to PuckPedia. - Miftakhov posted a 13-11-3 record with a 2.18 GAA and a .927 save percentage in 30 games with Ak Bars Kazan of the KHL in 2024-25. He will probably spend most of the 2025-26 campaign in the minors, but an injury to Frederik Andersen or Pyotr Kochetkov could open the door for Miftakhov to see NHL action. | None |
| July 1, 2022 | Miftakhov was waived unconditionally for the purpose of terminating his contract Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. - Miftakhov, who was selected by the Lightning in the sixth round of the 2020 Entry Draft, may have requested that his contract be terminated in order to continue his playing career back in his native Russia. The 22-year-old netminder spent most of the 2021-22 season in the minors, going 7-8-4 while posting a 3.03 GAA and an .891 save percentage through 22 appearances. | None |
| Dec. 26, 2021 | Miftakhov is one of three AHL goalies that may dress for the Lightning for Tuesday's game. - Both Andrei Vasilevskiy and Brian Elliott are in COVID-19 protocols and that leaves AHLers Miftakhov, Hugo Alnefelt and Maxime Lagace as possible starters. Miftakhov could have the inside tract given his stronger save percentage (.907 compared to .864 and .861, respectively). | None |
