Playing career
[edit ]Before the National Hockey League (NHL), he started his career with Khimik Voskresensk in the Soviet Championship League (1982–1985) and then played for the powerhouse club CSKA Moscow (1985–1991). In 1991 he moved to the NHL, where he played for the Quebec Nordiques (1991–1995, spending the 1994 lockout break in HC Ambri-Piotta, Switzerland), Colorado Avalanche (1995–1999), New York Rangers (1999–2001), Dallas Stars and New Jersey Devils (2001–2002). He won a Stanley Cup in 1996 with the Avalanche.[1]
He is also known for scoring one of the most memorable goals of the 1997–98 season. He received a pass and scored while spinning in mid-air.[2] The goal was used in the opening intro for the NHL 98 video game.[3] He also scored the first goal in the Avalanche's history in Denver since the relocation from Quebec City.
