CAREER SUMMARY

Trineyev also participated in the Hlinka Gretzky Cup, scoring two goals and recording two assists in four games. He spent much of his time on the ice with fellow prospects Ivan Didkovsky and Dmitri Zlodeyev.

The 2020-21 season saw Trineyev play at all three levels of the KHL system, including three games with the parent club, Dynamo Moscow. Trineyev spent a majority of his season with Dynamo Moskva of the MHL, where he had 15 goals and 15 assists in 33 games played.

The 2021-22 season saw more of the same for Trineyev. He started the season on the injury list with a damaged wrist he sustained in pre-season action. In the end, he finished the season playing 11 games with the parent KHL team, but recorded no points. He played 21 games with the junior team, scoring three goals and recording 15 assists.

On May 2 Trineyev signed his first NHL contract with the Capitals and the following day signed an amateur tryout agreement with the Hershey Bears. Trineyev then made his way from Russia to Hershey in time for a few practices and made his AHL debut in the Bears must-win Game 2 of their first round series with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. He would play in two postseason games with the Bears.

Russian media outlet Sport24 reported on May 13 that Trineyev will return to Dynamo Moscow next season on loan from the Capitals.

Russian media outlet Sport24 is reporting that Trineyev will return to Dynamo Moscow next season on loan from the Capitals. Trineyev played all of last season for Dynamo, both at the KHL and MHL (juniors) levels before making a brief appearance with the Bears in May. This is the best development path for Trineyev, who will get one more season to try and find a semi-regular spot on Dynamo’s KHL team, where he has yet to score a goal. This would make Trineyev 21 by the time he makes his first attempt at a full season in Hershey.
