Nikolai Nikolayevich Prokhorkin (Russian: Николай Николаевич Прохоркин) (born 17 September 1993) is a Russian professional ice hockey forward currently playing for Metallurg Magnitogorsk of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).[1]

Playing career

He was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings, 121st overall in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. On 5 September 2012, Prokhorkin was signed by the Kings to a three-year entry level contract.[2] After attending the Kings training camp, Prokhorkin was assigned to American Hockey League affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs. He featured in 8 games with the Monarchs to begin the 2012–13 season, before opting to return to his original club, CSKA Moscow and terminate his contract with the Kings on 14 November 2012.

On 13 May 2019, Prokhorkin as a free agent signed a one-year, entry-level contract with draft club, the Los Angeles Kings.[3] In his lone North American season in 2019–20, Prokhorkin was originally assigned to play with the Kings' AHL affiliate, the Ontario Reign. He made 4 appearances with the Reign before he was recalled to make his long awaited debut in the NHL. Remaining with the Kings over the course of the season, Prokhorkin collected 4 goals and 14 points in 43 games in a bottom-six role, before his season was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the Kings out of playoff contention, and unable to participate in the return to play stage, Prokhorkin as an impending restricted free agent opted to return to his homeland, agreeing to a two-year contract with Metallurg Magnitogorsk on 20 July 2020.[4] He was signed by Metallurg after his KHL rights' were earlier acquired from SKA Saint Petersburg in exchange for Vladislav Kamenev on 11 June 2020.[5]

International play

Prokhorkin is a member of the Olympic Athletes from Russia team at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
