Nikita Tryamkin (born August 30, 1994) is a Russian professional ice hockey defenceman. He is currently playing for the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Tryamkin made his Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) debut playing with Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg during the 2012–13 KHL season.[1]
Playing career
During the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, Tryamkin was selected 66th overall by the Vancouver Canucks. On March 8, 2016 the Canucks signed Tryamkin to a two-year entry-level deal. In this deal Tryamkin has the option of going back to Russia and not the AHL if he doesn't make the Canucks in the following season.[2]
He immediately joined the Canucks for the remainder of the 2015–16 season, and on March 16, 2016, Tryamkin made his NHL debut against the Colorado Avalanche and scored his 1st NHL point assisting on Henrik Sedin's goal.[3] On April 7, 2016, Tryamkin scored his first career NHL goal against the Calgary Flames goaltender Joni Ortio.[4]
Tryamkin made the Canucks 2016–17 season-opening roster[5] but was unable to draw into the lineup. The Canucks reportedly attempted to send him to their AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets, but Tryamkin declined - using his contract option (mentioned above) forcing them to keep him on their roster or allow him to return to Russia. Tryamkin eventually made his season debut on November 3, after being a healthy scratch in the team's first 10 games of the season.
