Oleg Petrov

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oleg Mikhailovich Petrov (Олег Михайлович Петров; born April 18, 1971 in Moscow, Russia) is a professional ice hockey right winger who currently plays for Ak Bars Kazan in Russian Super League. He had played in the NHL between 1992 and 2003.

Petrov was drafted 127th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1991 NHL Entry Draft. He played in 382 career NHL games, scoring 72 goals and 115 assists for 187 points. The most goals he ever scored in a single season in the NHL was 24, and the most points he ever achieved was 47. He won a Stanley Cup in 1993 with the Montreal Canadiens; however, he did not play enough games to officially qualify, so his name was not put on the Stanley Cup.

He left the NHL to end his career in Switzerland and signed up with EV Zug in Switzerland's Nationalliga A. He was the team's leading scorer in 2004–05 with 30 goals and 23 assists.

In November 2007 Ak Bars Kazan that had problems with roster after losing second line in off-season, signed Oleg Petrov along with Jukka Hentunnen and Petr Ċajanek to form a new 2nd line. In interview to a Russian sport website, Oleg Petrov said that he will consider quitting the professional hockey after this season^[1]
