Andrey Makarov (born 20 April 1993) is a Russian professional ice hockey goaltender. He played one game in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Buffalo Sabres.

Playing career

Makarov played major junior hockey with both the Lewiston Maineiacs of the QMJHL and the Saskatoon Blades of the WHL. He also played with the Russia men's national junior ice hockey team at both the 2012 and 2013 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, winning silver and bronze respectively.[1] On 14 September 2012, the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League (NHL) signed Makarov as an undrafted free agent to a three-year entry-level contract,[2] but assigned him to continue his play in the WHL with the Saskatoon Blades. Playing with the Blades during the 2012–13 season, Makarov was awarded the Hap Emms Memorial Trophy as the most outstanding goaltender at the 2013 Memorial Cup. In 115 career WHL games with Saskatoon, Makarov went 66-38-7 with a .916 save percentage, a 2.80 goals against average (GAA), and nine shutouts.[citation needed]

Makarov made his professional debut on 1 November 2013 with the Fort Wayne Komets of the ECHL[3] where he played 31 games during the 2013–14 season to post a record of 15-11-4 with a .906 save percentage and a 2.79 GAA. He was recalled to the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League (AHL) on 17 March 2014, where he played 6 games before receiving his first NHL call-up, on 8 April 2014, to join the roster of the Buffalo Sabres.[4]

Makarov opted to leave for the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) for the 2016–17 season.[5] Among the factors for his decision to leave the Sabres organization was that he believed Tim Murray, the Sabres' general manager, held a bias against Russian players; Makarov noted that, at the time of his departure, he was the only Russian in the Sabres' entire farm system, after Murray had traded away fellow Russians Mikhail Grigorenko and Nikita Zadorov.[6] Makarov signed a two-year deal with HC Spartak Moscow.[7]

Before appearing in a game with CSKA, Makarov was acquired by Chinese entrant, HC Kunlun Red Star on 5 July 2017. He appeared in their inaugural season, posting a .912 save percentage in 29 games in the 2016–17 regular season. On 10 May 2017, Makarov was returned to CSKA before he was swiftly traded to HC Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk in exchange for financial compensation.[8]

In his second season with Nizhnekamsk in 2018–19, earning just one win in six games, Makarov left the club to sign with Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg on 23 November 2018.[9]
