Early life
Kaliyev was born in Uzbekistan but his family moved to Staten Island, New York when he was two years old and later moved to Michigan at age 13.[1][2] He represents the United States in international competition.[1] His sister Elvina Kalieva is a tennis player.[3]
Playing career
As a rookie in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) in 2017–18, Kaliyev scored 31 goals to help the Hamilton Bulldogs to a league championship.[4] He followed that up with 51 goals for the Bulldogs in 2018–19, becoming the youngest player in the OHL to score more than 40 goals that season.[4] He is particularly effective at shooting a one timer.[5] Despite his goal scoring prowess, he was regarded as inconsistent, a weak skater and a weak defender before the 2019 NHL entry draft.[6][7][8][9][10] Kaliyev was subsequently selected with the 33rd overall pick by the Los Angeles Kings in the 2019 draft.[3][11]
On June 3, 2020, Kaliyev was signed to a three-year, entry-level by the Los Angeles Kings.[12] Kaliyev made his NHL debut on February 2, 2021, in a 3–1 loss against the Anaheim Ducks and scored his first goal.[13] On September 18, 2024, the Kings re-signed Kaliyev to a one-year contract.[14]
On January 6, 2025, Kaliyev was claimed off waivers by the New York Rangers.[15]
