Sergei Plotnikov (born 3 June 1990) is a Russian professional ice hockey forward who currently plays for the Arizona Coyotes of the National Hockey League (NHL). Plotnikov previously played in the Kontinental Hockey League with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl.[1]
Playing career
Plotnikov was not drafted by any NHL team. On 1 July 2015, Plotnikov bought out the final year of his contract with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. He signed a one-year, entry-level contract with the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins.[2]
In his first North American season in 2015–16, Plotnikov scored just two points in 32 games. From December 2015 on, he was a healthy scratch for almost two months. Unpleased with his lack of playing time, Plotnikov requested a trade and was subsequently traded to the Arizona Coyotes on 29 February 2016, in exchange for Matthias Plachta and a seventh round draft pick in 2016.[3]
International play
Plotnikov won a gold medal with Russia at the 2014 World Championship. He finished the tournament third overall in scoring.
