Oleg Petrov

Professional career

Petrov was selected 127th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1991 NHL entry draft. Over his NHL career he appeared in 382 games, recording 72 goals and 115 assists for 187 points. His single-season highs were 24 goals and 47 points. He was part of the Canadiens' 1993 Stanley Cup championship team, but did not play enough games to have his name engraved on the Cup. After leaving the NHL, he signed with EV Zug of Switzerland's Nationalliga A and led the team in scoring in 2004–05 with 30 goals and 23 assists. In November 2007, Ak Bars Kazan, which had lost its second line in the off-season, signed Petrov along with Jukka Hentunnen and Petr Ċajanek to form a new second line. Petrov stated in a 2007 interview that he would consider quitting professional hockey after that season. In summer 2009 he signed a one-year contract with KHL team Atlant Mytishchi. In August 2012 he signed a one-year contract with Spartak Moscow and was later traded to HC Lokomotiv (Yaroslavl). He announced that 2012–2013 would be his final season. He currently tours across Canada as part of the Montreal Canadiens alumni.
