Andrei Pavlovich Svetlakov (Russian: Андрей Павлович Светлаков; born 6 April 1996) is a Russian professional ice hockey player. He is currently playing with Traktor Chelyabinsk of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). He was selected by the Minnesota Wild, 178th overall, in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Svetlakov made his debut playing with Krasnaya Armiya of Junior Hockey League (MHL) when he was only 16 years old. Svetlakov made his Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) debut playing with HC CSKA Moscow during the 2015–16 KHL season.[1]

While in the midst of posting career high offensive totals with CKSA Moscow in the 2022–23 season, on 23 February 2023, his NHL rights were traded by the Wild and acquired by the Boston Bruins as part of a three team trade with the Washington Capitals.[2]

Following the 2023–24 season, having completed his ninth season in the KHL with CSKA Moscow and claiming three Gagarin Cup championships in his tenure, Svetlakov left the club as a free agent and was signed to a three-year contract with fellow KHL outfit, Traktor Chelyabinsk, on 7 May 2024.[3]
