| Nikolai Lemtyugov (St. Louis Blues) traded to Ak Bars Kazan
Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) - As KHL teams approach the playoffs stage, top teams are going to lure some good players from the bottom seeded ones. Ak Bars Kazan is no exception as they just sent quick winger Evgeny Ketov to Severstal Cherepovets for Nikolai Lemtyugov (St. Louis Blues). This might be a good move for his future as making part of a winning team might motivate him to work harder and in a more consistent way. In this season he scored nine goals and twenty-one points in thirty-eight regular season matches. | | 02/21/2009

Maxim Trunev (Montreal Canadiens), Nikolai Lemtyugov (St. Louis Blues) and Stanislav Egorshev skated in this match for the home team who got a deserved 3-1 win against a Dinamo Riga team that proved to be less strong.

| Nikolai Lemtyugov back in Russia
Continental Hockey League (KHL) - As reported by all the most important news agencies both in America and in Russia, twenty-two years old Nikolai Lemtyugov (St. Louis Blues) left AHL's Peoria to get back in the homeland. Despite being at the second season at the club, scoring nineteen points in twenty-seven games, Lemtyugov never got a chance to show what he's worth in the National Hockey League. He was though reported to rarely play at full effort.
It's not sure where the St. Petersburg native will continue his KHL career. He has played three seasons in the RSL, wich CSKA Moscow and Severstal Cherepovets. | | 08/09/2008
| July 2008 Wrapup - Russian Prospects Pay a Visit to NHL Clubs
June and July 2008 have been two busy months for Russian prospects. Many skated in North Americans development camps, some have changed teams, being or not at the centre of a controversial move, others are “simply” training hard for the upcoming season.
Many players belong to the first group. As written earlier in our website, Dmitri Kosmachev (Columbus Blue Jackets) and Maxim Mayorov (Columbus Blue Jackets) skated with Columbus Blue Jackets, Maxim Goncharov (Phoenix Coyotes) and Viktor Tikhonov (Phoenix Coyotes) with the Phoenix Coyotes, Nikolai Lemtyugov (St. Louis Blues) with St. Louis, Igor Makarov (Chicago Blackhawks) with the Chicago Blackhawks, Ruslan Bashkirov (Ottawa Senators), Ilya Zubov (Ottawa Senators) and Alexander Nikulin (Ottawa Senators) with Ottawa, Evgeni Grachev (New York Rangers) and Artem Anisimov (New York Rangers) with the New York Rangers, Semen Varlamov (Washington Capitals) and Nikita Kashirsky – a Russian player who spent the last seasons playing USA College hockey - in Washington, with Kugryshev in the stands, Fedor Fedorov (New Jersey Devils) with the New Jersey Devils, Nikolai Kulemin (Toronto Maple Leafs) with Toronto, Anton Khudobin (Minnesota Wild) with the Minnesota Wild, Vyacheslav Voinov (Los Angeles Kings) and Andrei Loktionov (Los Angeles Kings) with Los Angeles. The list might even grow as Montreal Canadiens are yet to release their rosters. (Exclusive article by Alessandro Seren Rosso for RussianProspects.com) READ MORE | | 06/28/2008
| Nikolai Lemtyugov (St. Louis Blues) skating at Blues Development Camp
ST. LOUIS – Nikolai Lemtyugov (St. Louis Blues) is skating at the Blues Development Camp, confirming the rumours that the club wanted him to fight for an NHL roster spot. He had a good first year in America, scoring 22 goals in his first AHL season with the Peoria Rivermen. Barulin and Alexandrov haven’t been invited, hurting their chances of ever trying the overseas jump. Blues’ Hockey operations president (and former NHL goaltender) John Davidson has told to the press that “(He's got) skill and a willingess to try to play here. He very easily, after a real good year in Peoria last year, could have gone back and signed and played in Russia. They’re looking for players like that, but he wants to play in the NHL." | | 10/01/2007

| Nikolai Lemtyugov (St. Louis Blues): I'll have to fend for myself over there
Forward Nikolai Lemtyugov (St. Louis Blues) (St. Louis Blues) departed for North America in the last couple of days, attempting to earn a spot on St. Louis Blues roster. The player has a deal with the NHL club for three years. At the same time he also has an agreement with Severstal for two more seasons. The Cherepovets club cooperated with the player and did interfere with his departure to North America. Lemtyugov himself is motivated to make it in the NHL even if the path will take him through the farm club. If it does not work out – then he would return to Cherepovets. Prior to his departure, Lemtyugov gave an interview to Championat.ru.

| Round 48 - Lemtyugov (St. Louis Blues) leads Severstal with two goals
Russian Super League - Nikolai Lemtyugov (St. Louis Blues) led surging HC Severstal to an impressive victory over the top HC Ak Bars, scoring two goals for his club. Alexey Cherepanov (2006 NHL Entry Draft) struck again for his 12th tally of the season despite his line with Kuryanov and Popov being broken up, though he was reunited with Popov. Grigori Shafigullin (Nashville Predators) delivered a strong performance for HC Lokomotiv, playing a physical and productive game, scoring a goal and assisting on the other. READ MORE | | 10/28/2006
| Alexei Shkotov (St. Louis Blues) put on waivers by HC Khimik
Russian Super League - Alexei Shkotov (St. Louis Blues) has been put on waivers by HC Khimik reportedly over an apparent disagreement between the young player and the club’s coaching staff. The young forward lead the club last year in +/-, but the club’s defensive style likely had to do with his departure from Mytische. Reportedly, several clubs are interested in the player, though the best offer appears to be coming from the wealthy HC Ak Bars. | | 01/24/2006

| Nikolai Lemtyugov helps a fellow Blues prospect out
Russian Super League - CSKA’s Nikolai Lemtyugov (St.Louis Blues) nailed Spartak’s goalie Tyler Moss in the collar bone with a blistering slapshot in the contest between the two teams on Wednesday. The goalie collapsed in extreme pain, but managed to complete the game before being examined by the doctor. He left the stadium with his arm in a sling. The doctors reported that it would take a month for the goalie’s broken collar bone to fully heal. Lemtyugov did a bit of service for a fellow Blues prospect Konstantin Barulin. Moss’s absence from Spartak’s net means that Konstantin Barulin (St.Louis Blues) and Andrei Medvedev (Calgary Flames) will compete for the temporary starting job. Barulin entered the regular season as Spartak’s backup and will get the first chance to start for the club. | |

2004 NHL ENTRY DRAFT
Rank 2: #18
Rank 3: #24
Rank 4: #23
| | Talent Analysis: |
| Skating: Above average skater technically with a good stride and footwork...average acceleration and would benefit from improving his explosiveness...above average top speed. Shot: A very strong slap shot...an average wrist shot, which has a quick release and good strength, but he needs to work on precision, as he often puts the puck square into the goaltender and hasn’t shown the ability to consistently hit the corners of the net...Technical Ability: Average puckhandler and isn’t terribly imaginative with the puck...capable of making some moves and is hard to shake off the puck...capable of handling passes at high speed. Pass: Interacts well with his line mates and consistently shares the puck, looking for the best opportunity...a team player...Defensive Play: Works very hard on defense, always trying to return into his zone... Physical Play: not a physical player who looks to hit, but doesn’t shy away from contact and works very hard in traffic...uses his body effectively next to the boards...works very hard in traffic and Is hard to knock down...his style of game would benefit greatly from increased mass and more upper body strength...Overall: Lemtyugov is a hard working forward who doesn’t stand out in any one category, but offers a package with a lot of versatility and skill. His team first attitude and aggressiveness on the ice will likely easy any adjustments to the North American style of hockey. |
| Back In Russia: |
| Lemtyugov is a product of the CSKA (Moscow) hockey system. 2003-04 Season: The young forward made his debut for CSKA’s junior farm club CSKA 2 squad during the 2003-04 season. During the first season he failed to make much of an impact for the squad, finishing the year in the middle of the pack in scoring and rarely standing out as one of the club’s top prospects. Unfortunatly, this was Lemtyugov’s draft year and his lack of success in Russia lead to his absence from national team and like negatively impacted his prospects of being drafted. 2004-05 Season: Lemtyugov returned from an average 2003-04 campaign to enjoy significantly more success the following season. The young forward became one of the clubs top candidates to satisfy the U20 player requirement. He was called up to the big club in February and stayed in the lineup for the rest of the season. 2005-06 Season: The young forward started the season off strong, skating on the same line with a fellow ’86 born forward Sergei Shirokov. Lemtyugov clearly showed that he belonged and at one point started to average a point per game. |
| NHL Outlook: |
| Nikolai Lemtyugov was one of the very few Russian born players to be selected in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft when he was picked by the St. Louis Blues late in draft, 219th overall. The Blues picked the young forward likely due to his impressive performance with CSKA late in the season. While he was not likely the player primarily scouted by the Blues, he certainly benefited from the presence of the scouts. While unlikely to bloom into an all-star forward, Lemtyugov certainly has the size, work ethic and skill set to be a strong supporting player in the NHL. Considering the new NHL rules, the Blues will likely try to bring Lemtyugov over next summer, which may be of benefit to the young player’s development, as he is enjoying a strong 2005-06 season. |
