Yaroslav Dyblenko

Playing career

Dyblenko debuted in the KHL with Atlant Moscow Oblast during the 2012–13 season and later joined Spartak Moscow for the 2015–16 campaign. On April 20, 2017, he signed a two-year entry-level contract with the New Jersey Devils of the NHL. Before that season, his KHL rights were traded from Spartak Moscow to SKA Saint Petersburg on August 18, 2017. After attending New Jersey's training camp for the 2017–18 season, he was assigned to the American Hockey League's Binghamton Devils. Struggling to adapt to the smaller ice surface, Dyblenko was often a healthy scratch and appeared in 54 games, recording 8 points, without earning an NHL recall. The Devils placed him on unconditional waivers on May 9, 2018, terminating the final year of his contract. He initially agreed to a four-year deal with SKA Saint Petersburg on May 18, 2018, but was returned to Spartak Moscow on August 16, 2018, for financial compensation due to salary cap considerations. After playing the 2018–19 season with Spartak, he left to rejoin SKA on a three-year contract on July 15, 2019. Dyblenko went scoreless in 14 games to start the 2021–22 season before SKA traded him to HC Sochi for financial compensation on October 17, 2021. As a free agent from Sochi, he signed a two-year contract with HC CSKA Moscow on May 4, 2022. After helping CSKA retain the Gagarin Cup, he was traded to Severstal Cherepovets in exchange for Nikita Sedov on July 5, 2024, before his agreed two-year extension took effect. Following a season limited to 32 games by injury, he was traded to Amur Khabarovsk for financial compensation on July 8, 2025.
