Kirill Andreyevich Petrov (born April 13, 1990) is a Russian professional ice hockey player currently playing for Yugra Khanty-Mansiysk of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). Petrov was drafted by the New York Islanders in the third round, 73rd overall, in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. He was considered a "blue-chip" first-round talent that dropped to the third round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft due to his contract status with Ak Bars Kazan.
Petrov represented Russia at the 2010 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, leading his team in scoring and being promoted to team captain by the end of the competition. Petrov was the 8th overall scorer in the entire tournament.
There was a real possibility of him joining the New York Islanders of the National Hockey League (NHL) for the 2010–11 season.[1] However, Ak Bars Kazan has thus far kept him under contract, so he must wait to sign a contract with the Islanders.
