Torpedo player Andrey Krutov will remain on loan at Amur for another season.

      Andrei Krutov has signed a new agreement with Torpedo. The contract with the forward is valid until 2028. The 20-year-old hockey player will spend the upcoming season on loan at Amur. At the Khabarovsk club, he will continue to gain playing experience and develop at the KHL level. In the past season, Krutov managed to play for three teams in the Nizhny Novgorod club system. In the KHL, he played three matches without registering any points. In the VHL for Torpedo-Gorky, the forward participated in 23 games, scoring 2 goals and providing 4 assists. He also played nine matches in the MHL for Chaika, accumulating 7 points (3+4). Since January 2026, the hockey player has been playing for Amur on loan and by the end of the season, he played 21 matches for the Khabarovsk club, in which he scored four points (2+2). The general director of HC Torpedo, Evgeny Zabuga, noted that considering the interest from the Khabarovsk side and the player's own desire, it was decided to arrange a temporary transfer.

      "In the second half of the 2025/2026 season, Andrei was able to prove his worth at Amur, earning a permanent spot in the lineup. During his time in the Far East, we have observed his progress and maturation," emphasized Zabuga.

      Amur is also satisfied with the contribution of the young hockey player. The general manager of the eastern club, Nikita Tochitsky, noted that the player has adapted well to the team and demonstrates a serious attitude towards work, serving as an example for other young players. It is likely that Nikita Artamonov will also play the next season on loan at Neftekhimik. Earlier, it was reported that Vladislav Firstov signed a new two-year contract with Torpedo.
