The road from the high of being drafted by an NHL club at the age of 18 can leave you in the ditch by age 22. That is where Vancouver Canucks’ 2015 4th round pick Dmitry Zhukenov finds himself as he tries to keep a pro career alive, plying his trade for Gornyak Uchaly in the VHL (the KHL’s equivalent of North America’s AHL). He is the property of HC Avtomobilist of Yekaterinburg, the current employer of another Canucks’ chattel, the Big Friendly Giant Nikita Tryamkin.
