Perspective
Samorukov played major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League with the Guelph Storm and was drafted by the Oilers in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft in the third round, 84th overall.[1] He signed an entry-level contract on 7 September 2017.[2] In the 2020–21 season, he played one season in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) with CSKA Moscow due to COVID-19-related stoppages in North American hockey, but returned to Bakersfield for the next season.[3]
On 9 October 2022, Samorukov was traded by the Oilers to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for fellow Russian, Klim Kostin.[4][5] He was assigned to affiliate, the Springfield Thunderbirds of the AHL for the majority of the 2022–23 season, before appearing in two games with St. Louis in a brief recall.
As a pending restricted free agent, Samorukov was not tendered a qualifying offer by the Blues and was released as a free agent. On 31 July 2023, Samorukov opted to continue his career in North America in signing a one-year, AHL contract with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, the affiliate to the Pittsburgh Penguins.[6] Samorukov opened the 2023–24 season in the AHL, posting 5 points through 15 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton before he was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with Pittsburgh on 22 November 2023.[7]
On 1 August 2024, Samorukov as a free agent opted to return to his homeland to continue his career, signing a three-year contract with his original club, CSKA Moscow of the KHL.[8]
