supervisors “Ottawa” decided to send a Russian defender Nikita Zaitsev in the AHL, according to Sportsnet.
Previously, not a single NHL club had taken Zaitsev out of the rebound draft. During the 2022/23 season, the 31-year-old Zaitsev appeared in seven NHL regular season games, in which he collected one assist. His utility score was “-3”.
The hockey player earns $4.5 million a year under a contract that lasts two more seasons.
Another Russian defender from Ottawa Artem Zub recovered from an upper body injury that has kept him out of action since October 27. He is expected to play Saturday’s game against New Jersey.
