Alexander Alexandrowitsch Frolow ( Russian Александр Александрович Фролов ; born June 19, 1982 in Moscow , Russian SFSR ) is a Russian ice hockey striker who has been under contract with the Daemyung Killer Whales in the Asia League since July 2018 .
Career
Alexander Frolow began his career in 1999 with the second team of Lokomotive Yaroslavl in the third division. Due to his good performance, he recommended himself to the North American teams and so he was selected in the NHL Entry Draft 2000 by the Los Angeles Kings in the first round at position 20. In the same year he moved to Krylja Sowetow Moscow and played for the team 2000/01 in the Wysschaja Liga and the following year in the Superliga . In 2002 he became junior world champion .
In the fall of 2002 he finally moved to North America and was immediately accepted into the Kings NHL squad. While he got 31 points in his first year, he made 48 in the 2003/04 season. The 2004/05 NHL season fell out because of the lockout and Frolov returned to his home country and played the season at HK CSKA Moscow and HK Dynamo Moscow .
Before the 2005/06 season , Frolow was without a contract, but still tied to the Los Angeles Kings as a restricted free agent . Both parties could not agree on a new contract and Frolov signed for a year with HK Awangard Omsk in the Russian Super League, but only a little later he accepted a five-year contract for a total of 14.5 million US dollars and returned to Los Angeles. In February 2006 he took part in the Winter Olympics in Turin , but in the third game of the tournament he injured his shoulder and had to take a break for almost a month. Nevertheless, the season was relatively positive for him, because he was able to increase his points yield again.
At the beginning of the 2006/07 season , Frolow became the best scorer of the Los Angeles Kings. In the following three seasons, the Russian also scored over 50 points per season. After the 2009/10 season he became a so-called unrestricted free agent and decided to work with the New York Rangers , with whom he signed a contract for one year on July 27, 2010. With the Rangers Frolow was regularly used and posted 16 points in 43 games before he tore his cruciate ligament in January 2011 and suffered an injury in his right knee that resulted in the end of the season. This injury he sustained on January 8, 2011 in the game against the St. Louis Blues , when their striker Brad Winchester fell over Frolow's leg.
In May 2011, Frolov signed a three-year contract with HK Awangard Omsk in the Continental Hockey League , before he and Stanislaw Yegorschew were given up to HK CSKA Moscow in exchange for Sergei Schirokow and Maxim Gontscharow in November 2013 and 10 scorer points by the end of the season collected in 33 games for CSKA.
