American defender of Chelyabinsk “Traktor” Stephen Kaempfer appreciated the performance of the Russian striker Dmitry Voronkov in the NHL.
Voronkov is 24 years old, since 2023 he plays for Columbus Blue Jackets Last season, the forward played 75 regular season games, scoring 34 points (18 goals + 16 assists), 24-year-old forward Nikolai Kovalenko will defend the colors of the Colorado Avalanche in the new NHL season.
— All summer we skated on the ice with Kovalenko. He is in good shape. I don’t think Voronkov surprised anyone with his progress. He was already ready for the NHL when I moved to Ak Bars, and I also told him about it more than once. The same situation is here with Kravtsov and Shabanov, they are both ready, everything depends on themselves.
When I was in Ak Bars, Kovalenko was still very young, he learned a lot. Of course, he added with the move to Torpedo, I think this experience helped him. I think he will have a good season, the important thing is that this will be his first full season in North America. Voronkov showed that he can play in the NHL. “I am glad that I played with both players and I hope that their careers will be successful,” Kaempfer said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
