Arseni Sergeyevich Gritsyuk (Russian: Арсений Сергеевич Грицюк; born 15 March 2001) is a Russian professional ice hockey player for SKA Saint Petersburg of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). He was selected by the New Jersey Devils 129th overall, in the fifth round of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Gritsyuk was drafted in the fifth round, 129th overall, by the New Jersey Devils in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.[1][2] He made his Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) debut for Avangard Omsk during the 2020–21 season where he recorded one goal and one assist in 12 games and won the Gagarin Cup.[3] On 30 April 2021, he signed a two-year contract extension with Avangard Omsk.[4]

Following the 2021–22 season, in which he recorded 16 goals and 28 points in 39 KHL games, Gritsyuk was named KHL rookie of the year.[5]

Having concluded his contract with Omsk, Gritsyuk remained un-signed from the Devils while his KHL rights were acquired by perennial contender SKA Saint Petersburg on 27 May 2023. He was signed soon after to a two-year contract extension to remain with SKA through 2025.[6]
