Career

Dmitri Kalinin comes from the offspring of HK Traktor Chelyabinsk , for whom he made his debut in the professional team in the second Russian division in the 1995/96 season . The tractor team was able to celebrate promotion to the first division in the end, so that Kalinin played his first first division game in the following season. Most of the season, however, he played for the junior team in the third division .

In the 1997/98 season he was able to establish himself in the first team and was selected by the Buffalo Sabers in the first round of the 1998 NHL Entry Draft in 18th position . The Sabers brought the then 18-year-old to North America, where he played for the Moncton Wildcats in the Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec . In his first year in North America, he was also able to play over ten appearances with the Rochester Americans in the American Hockey League . In the following season he was mostly on the roster of the Americans and was appointed to the NHL roster of the Sabers for four games. He scored 21 points and helped the Americans to the Calder Cup finals. After the season he was appointed to the all-rookie team by the AHL .

From the 2000/01 season he was always in the squad of the Buffalo Sabers and scored 22 points in his rookie season, which earned him the Fred T. Hunt Trophy as Rookie of the Year of the Sabers. He had his season with the highest points in the Sabers jersey in 2003/04 , when he was Buffalo's strongest defender with 34 points.

During the lockout in the 2004/05 season he played for HK Metallurg Magnitogorsk in the Russian Super League, but returned to Buffalo for the 2005/06 season . Due to injuries, he was only able to stand 55 games for the Sabers on the ice and broke his foot in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. After the 2007/08 season , his expiring contract in Buffalo was not extended, so Kalinin decided in July 2008 to sign a contract with the New York Rangers as a free agent . In March 2009 they gave it to the Phoenix Coyotes together with Nigel Dawes and Petr Průcha in exchange for Derek Morris .

After 15 games for the Coyotes, Kalinin decided to return to Russia at the end of the season and then received a contract with Salawat Julajew Ufa . In the 2009/10 season he took part in the KHL All-Star Game for the first time in his career and was elected to the League's First All-Star Team at the end of the season . In the following season Kalinin won the championship of the KHL with Salawat Julajew Ufa with the Gagarin Cup . In May 2011, the Russian was signed by SKA Saint Petersburg and was one of the club's regular defenders in the following years. In 2015 he won another Gagarin Cup with the SKA. His contract expired in 2016 and Kalinin moved within the KHL to HK Spartak Moscow , where he took over the position of team captain for the 2018/19 season . In May 2019 he returned to his hometown club, HK Traktor Chelyabinsk, for a year and also acted as team captain there.

International

Dmitri Kalinin represented his home country at nine world championships, at which he won silver in 2002 and 2010 and bronze in 2005 . In 2008 , 2009 and 2012 he won the world title with the Sbornaja .
