Playing career

Filimonov was drafted 49th overall by the Winnipeg Jets in the 1991 NHL Entry Draft, but remained in Russia with HC Dynamo Moscow and his rights were eventually traded to the Ottawa Senators in March 1993. He went on to play 30 regular season games with the Sens, scoring a goal and four assists for five points and collecting 18 penalty minutes during the 1993–94 NHL season, splitting the season between Ottawa and their AHL affiliate the Prince Edward Island Senators. He played one more season with P.E.I. before moving to the IHL with the Indianapolis Ice, but was hampered by injuries and only managed to play ten games. After one season in Finland for KalPa, Filimonov returned to Russia in 1997 to play for his hometown team Molot-Prikamye Perm, where he remained until he retired from hockey in 2006.
