Dmitri Anatoljewitsch Afanassenkow ( Russian Дмитрий Анатольевич Афанасенков ; born May 12, 1980 in Arkhangelsk , Russian SFSR ) is a former Russian ice hockey player . In total, he has completed 255 games in the National Hockey League for Tampa Bay Lightning and Philadelphia Flyers and won the Stanley Cup with Tampa in 2004 .

Career

Afanassenkow began his playing career in 1995 with Lokomotive Yaroslavl in the second Russian division. In the 1998 NHL Entry Draft he was selected ( drafted ) by Tampa Bay Lightning in the third round in 72nd place . For the following season he moved to North America and played in the Québec Major Junior Hockey League for the Moncton Wildcats . He played for the Sherbrooke Castors for the next two years . At the beginning of the 2000/01 season Dmitri Afanassenkow signed his first professional contract with Tampa Bay, but was mainly used until 2003 with the farm teams Detroit Vipers , Grand Rapids Griffins or Springfield Falcons . Only in the training camp before the 2003/04 season he was able to prevail and got a regular place in the NHL squad of the Lightning. He justified this trust with six goals and eleven assists during the regular season. In the play-offs he was able to score three more points and helped Tampa Bay to win the Stanley Cup.

During the lockout in the 2004/05 season Afanassenkow played in his home country for HK Lada Tolyatti , but returned to Tampa in 2005. In July 2006, he signed a one-year contract, but unable to meet the coach's expectations, he was put on the waiver list on December 30, 2006 . The Philadelphia Flyers then signed him until the end of the season. In 41 games for the Flyers he was able to achieve 15 points scorer, but received no new contract offer after the end of the season and thus became an unrestricted free agent . On August 1, 2007, HK Dynamo Moscow signed him for whom he played in the Superliga and KHL for the next two years .

In September 2009, his club sent him to his farm team because he was dissatisfied with Afanassenkow's performance and attitude. He passed the KHL waiver and was then committed by Lokomotive Yaroslavl. After spending the 2010/11 season at HK Traktor Chelyabinsk , he returned to the Swiss NLA for the following season , where he received a contract with Friborg-Gottéron in October 2011 .

From July 2012 Afanassenkow was under contract with Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg before his contract was terminated in mid-October of the same year. From January 2013 he was under contract with HK Homel before ending his career at the end of the season.

International

Dmitri Afanassenkow represented his home country at the U20 World Cup in 2000 and the World Cup of Hockey in 2004 .
