VANCOUVER — The Maple Leafs have their backup goaltender under contract for another year. The club announced Tuesday it has signed Garret Sparks to a one-year contract extension through 2019-20. Sparks will make $750,000 US, a bit of a bump over the $700,000 he is earning this season. Sparks, who would have been a restricted free agent on July 1, will be eligible for unrestricted free agency in 2020. In 14 games this season, the 25-year-old Sparks has compiled a record of 7-5-1 with a .902 save percentage and a 3.09 goals-against average.
