The Russian forward who has spent half his life here in North America was acquired by Winnipeg in a trade with San Jose for a 4th round pick in 2024 after the Sharks had traded with the Lighting to acquire him.

He had two goals and eight assists for 10 points in 20 games with Winnipeg. Seemed to have good chemistry with Nikolaj Ehlers so we shall see if that continues next season.
