Career

Pawel Dazjuk began his career in Russia with Dinamo-Energija Yekaterinburg in the third-rate Pervaya League . However, he was initially not predicted to have a great future as a professional player, as he was a rather small player. Having already in 1996 and 1997 in the NHL Entry Draft was available without being selected, the secured Detroit Red Wings in the Draft 1998 NHL Entry his rights by the Russian attacker chose in the sixth round of the 171st position. Although the talent scouts from Detroit certified him a high playing potential, they doubted whether he would ever achieve the physical requirements for the National Hockey League . But Datsyuk continued to develop. From 1999 to 2001 the left shooter played for Ak Bars Kazan and in the summer of 2001 the Red Wings decided to bring him to Detroit.

Arrived in the USA, he immediately prevailed on the NHL team and played in a row with Brett Hull and Boyd Devereaux . At the end of his first season he won the Stanley Cup . He was also part of the Russian team that won the Olympic bronze medal in Salt Lake City . In the fall of 2002, Henrik Zetterberg , another young and talented player, joined the Red Wings. Thereupon Dazjuk, Zetterberg and Hull formed an attack line. Due to a knee injury, Dazjuk's playing time was limited to 64 games, in which he scored 51 points. In the playoffs he failed with the Detroit Red Wings in the first round with 4-0 wins, with Dazjuk remaining pointless.

2003 Sergei Fyodorow left the Red Wings, which Dazjuk moved up in the hierarchy. He was often on the ice and could use that. In 2004 he was named to the NHL All-Star Game . He posted 68 points in the season and gave six assists in the twelve Detroit playoff games.

After the season his contract ran out, but he could not agree on a new contract with the Red Wings. Since the NHL season 2004/05 was canceled due to the lockout , he signed in Russia with HK Dynamo Moscow , where he won the Russian championship together with Alexander Ovetschkin. In September 2005 he reached an agreement with the Detroit Red Wings and signed a two-year contract.

During the 2005/06 season he was the Red Wings' top scorer with 87 points. In addition, he only received 22 penalty minutes during the entire season. In recognition of these achievements, he was awarded the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy , which is awarded to the player who excels through fairness and a high sporting standard. In 2006/07 Dazjuk built on his good performance from the previous year. With 87 points he was again the best scorer of the Red Wings and received the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy for the second time in a row. In the playoffs he made a big contribution to the final of the Western Conference with eight goals and eight assists.

On April 6, 2007, he signed a seven-year contract with the Red Wings for a total of $ 46.9 million.

During the 2007/08 season Dazjuk kept his performance consistently high and was invited to the NHL All-Star Game for the second time in January 2008 . He finally ended the season with 31 goals, 66 assists and 97 scorer points, setting new personal records in all three categories and being the Red Wings' best scorer. In the league, he was fourth in the scorer list, was the second best NHL assists behind Joe Thornton and had the best plus / minus statistics of all players. In the playoffs he was still one of the driving forces, contributed 23 points scorer in 22 games, including a hat-trick in the conference final against the Dallas Stars on the way to the Stanley Cup victory. After the end of the season he was awarded the Frank J. Selke Trophy as best defensive striker and for the third time with the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy. For the first time since Frank Boucher in 1935, a player secured the trophy for three consecutive years.

In the 2008/09 season Dazjuk was again with 97 points scorer the best points player in the Detroit Red Wings and fourth best scorer in the NHL. Detroit was much weaker in defense than last year, but Dazjuk was one of the players who kept their form at a high level and was therefore again nominated for the Frank J. Selke Trophy as best defensive striker. He was also the first Red Wings player since Sergei Fyodorov to receive a nomination for the Hart Memorial Trophy as the most valuable player in the NHL in the 1993/94 season .

After the 2015/16 season, Dazjuk left the Red Wings after 14 seasons to return to his Russian homeland for family reasons, although he still had a contract for another year. At this point he was ranked 6th among the top scorers in the franchise . As part of the NHL Entry Draft 2016 , the Red Wings gave his remaining contract to the Arizona Coyotes in an exchange deal . Dazjuk himself signed a two-year contract with SKA Saint Petersburg in July 2016 . After all, the striker spent three seasons there and won the Gagarin Cup with the team in 2017 . In June 2019 he returned to his hometown, where he signed with Saint Petersburg's league rivals Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg .
