Russia Announces Final Olympic Roster

January 23, 2022 at 1:46 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 6 Comments

Jan. 23: Russia released their final 25-man Olympic roster today, per The Athletic’s Corey Pronman. The following names were cut from their training camp roster:

Forwards: Anton Burdasov, Artyom Galimov
Defensemen: Dmitry Vishnevsky, Shakir Mukhamadullin, Daniil Pylenkov
Goalie: Yaroslav Askarov

Six additional players will attend as reserves. This includes forwards Andrei Kuzmenko, Stanislav Galiev, Alexander Kadeikin, and Vladimir Tkachyov; defenseman Semyon Chistyakov, and goalie Dmitry Shugaev.

Jan. 17: The 2022 Winter Olympics are right around the corner, with the men’s hockey tournament kicking off on February 10. There will be a handful of pre-tournament games in the days before that, but for the Russian national team, training camp starts even sooner. The roster for camp in Novogorsk was announced today and it includes many names that will be familiar to NHL fans.

The full training camp roster:

G Yaroslav Askarov
G Alexander Samonov
G Timur Bilyalov
G Ivan Fedotov
G Dmitry Shugaev

D Dmitry Vishnevsky
D Alexander Nikishin
D Slava Voynov
D Alexander Yelesin
D Artyom Minulin
D Yegor Yakovlev
D Shakir Mukhamadullin
D Nikita Nesterov
D Daniil Pylenkov
D Sergei Telegin
D Semyon Chistyakov
D Damir Sharipzyanov

F Sergei Andronov
F Mikhail Grigorenko
F Pavel Karnaukhov
F Sergei Plotnikov
F Anton Slepyshev
F Artem Anisimov
F Artur Kayumov
F Anton Burdasov
F Nikita Gusev
F Andrei Kuzmenko
F Kirill Marchenko
F Artyom Galimov
F Dmitry Voronkov
F Stanislav Galiev
F Vadim Shipachyov
F Arseniy Gritsyuk
F Kirill Semyonov
F Alexander Kadeikin
F Vladimir Tkachyov
F Andrei Chibisov

While there is a good core of veterans that have seen international play before, the group also includes many prospects and young players that the North American hockey world may not be familiar with. New Jersey Devils fans especially will be keeping a close tab on the Russian team, and not only because of 2020 first-round pick Mukhamadullin. Gritsyuk, a fifth-round pick of the Devils in 2019, has been lighting up the KHL this season with 16 goals and 28 points through 39 games. That’s his first full season at the highest level in Russia, making the undersized forward someone to keep an eye on when his KHL contract expires in 2023.

There’s plenty of other young talents here too, with one being another Tampa Bay Lightning late-round find. Pylenkov was selected 196th overall in 2021 as an averaged draft pick and is in his third full season in the KHL. While the 21-year-old might not come over right away (though his KHL contract does expire at the end of this season), the Lightning will hold his NHL rights indefinitely after using the seventh-round pick.

      It’s actually going to be the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) this time around.

    I fully expect vitriol when Russia wins in spite of people asking for the NHL to not send players.

      Define “vitriol”.

      Does it include acknowledging that a name change is an inadequate punishment and deterrent for systemic doping?

      It doesnt matter. Russia will likely win playing mostly AHL players and probably would have a harder time regardless if they werent. This has nothing to do with Russia as much as what their competition will be. They can win a medal as ROC, whether valid or not.

    This re-writer Gavin Lee has no news instinct whatsoever. The lead of his story is who was cut? Then he lists everyone who was at training camp?
    The lead and only story is who is on the Russian Olympic team. Will someone please teach this guy how to write, or rewrite, a story and what makes something newsworthy.
