Career
Andrei Markow gained his first experience in ice hockey at his home club Chimik Woskressensk and went through the youth department there. From 1995 the Russian was used for the first time in the professional squad and took part with the team in the 1995/96 season in the game operation of the International Hockey League . In the following two seasons, the defensive player ran for Chimik Voskressensk in the Russian Super League on the ice. During this time he was denied a particular success with the team, so that the team did not get past the first round in the playoffs. In the 1998 NHL Entry Draft , he was selected in the sixth round in 162nd position by the Canadiens de Montréal . Subsequently, Markov decided to leave the club and accepted an offer from HK Dynamo Moscow , where he was active under head coach Sinetula Biljaletdinow . In the following two seasons, the Russian showed his offensive potential for the first time and scored 30 points each time . In the 1999/2000 season Markov played an excellent season when he won the Russian championship with Dynamo Moscow , was elected to the league's All-Star Team and was named the most valuable player of the season.
The Canadiens de Montréal then decided to release the defender to North America for the 2000/01 season . There he got match practice with the Citadelles de Québec , the farm team of the Canadiens, for which the Russian played in the American Hockey League (AHL). He completed 14 games for the Citadelles and immediately made it into the National Hockey League (NHL). In the same season Markov was in 63 NHL games for the Canadiens on the ice and scored 23 points. During the 2001/02 season he played again on the farm team. The defender played twelve games and scored ten points. In the same year he completed 68 games for the Habs . He built on his achievements from the previous year and became an integral part of the Canadiens. In the lockout - 2004/05 season he returned to the HC Dynamo Moscow back and won with the team for the second time in his career the Russian championship.
Even after his return to Montréal, the Russian was always one of the best players on the team. His sustained achievements were recognized in May 2007 with a four-year contract extension valued at approximately $ 23 million. During the 2007/08 season Markow was first nominated for the NHL All-Star Game . For the January 2008 event, the Russian was accepted into the starting line-up of the Eastern Conference and formed a defensive duo with Zdeno Chára . For the 2009 NHL All-Star Game , the defender was voted into the starting line-up of the Eastern Conference and ran onto the ice with his teammates Alexei Kowaljow , Mike Komisarek and Carey Price .
The 2008/09 season ended Markow with a record of 64 scorer points from 78 matches and thus scored for the second time in his career over 50 points in one season. In early October 2009, the defender suffered an ankle injury in a collision with goalkeeper Carey Price that left him out of play for over two and a half months. In July 2010, the defense attorney was solemnly granted Canadian citizenship. Even during the 2010/11 season , the Russian was not spared from injuries and injured his right knee on November 13, 2010 in the encounter against the Carolina Hurricanes , so that the season for the defender was over after just seven missions. Markov had to undergo an operation to repair his meniscus and reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament.
Due to the NHL lockout, Markov played from October 2012 to January 2013 for Vityas Chekhov in the Continental Hockey League (KHL). After the end of the lockout, he returned to the Canadiens and scored 30 points in 48 games in the shortened NHL season 2012/13 , including 23 in overpowering situations . With eight power play goals, Markow also led all defenders in the league. After the 2016/17 season, Markow did not receive a new contract in Montréal and left the Canadiens after a total of 17 years with over 1000 completed games and 572 scorer points. In the eternal rankings of the Canadiens, the Russian is sixth after appearances in the regular season and (together with Guy Lapointe ) second among the defenders with the highest points.
In July 2017, Markov returned to his Russian homeland, where he signed a two-year contract with Ak Bars Kazan from the KHL. With the team, he won the KHL playoffs for the Gagarin Cup directly in the first year after his return to his Russian homeland . For the 2019/20 season, the defender moved to Lokomotive Yaroslavl , where he was to play his final season in the professional field. In April 2020, he officially announced the end of his active career.
International
Markow represented his home country in the junior as well as the senior sector on an international level.
The defender played for the first time at the U18 European Junior Championship in 1996 , where he became European champion with the team. He also won the bronze medal at the 1997 World Junior Championships . A year later he also ran at the 1998 Junior World Championship . There Russia won the silver medal and Markov was also appointed to the all-star team of the tournament.
For the senior selection of the Sbornaja Markow appeared for the first time at the 1999 World Cup . There the Russians remained without a medal as they did at the World Cup in 2000 . At the World Cup in their own country, the ambitious team disappointed immensely and finished in eleventh place. After the big disappointment, it was five years until the 2005 World Cup before Markow competed for his home country in an international tournament. The team secured the bronze medal there, as well as at the 2007 World Cup . Markow posted eight scorer points in eight tournament games. In addition to being elected to the All-Star Team, this also earned him the title of best defender in the competition. A year later, the defender finally celebrated Russia's greatest international success since the early 1990s when he won the gold medal at the 2008 World Cup in Canada . Furthermore, the Russian was in the squad at the Olympic Winter Games 2006 in Turin , 2010 in Vancouver and 2014 in Sochi . He also represented his home country at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey .
