Career

Grigorenko comes from the cadre school of the HK CSKA Moscow Army Club . There he played in the 2010/11 season at the age of 16 for the junior team Krasnaja Armija Moscow in the Molodjoschnaja Chokkeinaja League . In 43 games he got 35 scorer points . As the youngest player on the team, he finished the main round in ninth place in the team's internal scorer ranking. The center followed up with another five points in ten play-off games, which were crowned by winning the Kharlamov Cup . The talent of the attacker was not hidden from the scouts of the Canadian Hockey League and so the Remparts de Québec selected him in June 2011 in the first round of the 2011 CHL Import Draft in second overall position and only behind the Finn Olli Määttä . In order to be able to fall back on the services of their youth player in the further course of his career, CSKA Moscow secured the rights to Grigorenko for the Continental Hockey League in the KHL Junior Draft 2011 . They picked him eighth in the first round.

The Russian then decided in August 2011 to move to North America to the Remparts de Québec in the Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec . He ended the 2011/12 regular season as the team's second-best point collector with 85 points in 59 games, only Frédérick Roy - the son of the legendary NHL goalkeeper Patrick Roy - was more successful. For these outstanding achievements Grigorenko was honored with numerous individual awards, among other things the Russian won the Coupe RDS as best rookie and was appointed to the league's First All-Star Team.

As part of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft , Grigorenko along with Nikita Sadorow and JT Compher and the Sabers' second-round suffrage was given to the Colorado Avalanche . In return, Buffalo received Jamie McGinn and Ryan O'Reilly . After the 2016/17 season, Grigorenko did not get a new contract in Colorado, so he returned to HK CSKA Moscow and signed a new three-year contract there in July 2017. At CSKA, the attacker developed into one of the best players in the league over the course of three years and led his team to win the Gagarin Cup and the Russian championship in spring 2019 . After the contract expired, Grigorenko moved again to North America and the NHL in April 2020, where he signed a one-year contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets .

International

Grigorenko represented his native Russia at the World U-17 Hockey Challenge 2010 , World Junior A Challenge 2010 , U18 World Junior Championship 2011 and U20 World Junior Championship 2012 .

At the World U-17 Hockey Challenge 2010 the Russians lost in the bronze medal game against Sweden and finished the tournament in fourth place. Grigorenko scored ten points and was behind Alexander Khokhlachev, the second best point collector of the Russian team and third best of the entire tournament. The World Junior A Challenge 2010 in November the Russians finished in sixth place, with Grigorenko being the team's second best scorer with six points behind Nikita Kucherov . A year later, Grigorenko formed a storm series with Nail Jakupow and again Nikita Kutscherow at the U18 Junior World Championship 2011 . The center was instrumental in the bronze medal win of the Russians with 18 scorer points, including the tournament best value of 14 assists.
