Washington Capitals forward prospect Bogdan Trineyev, who is currently playing in his first full season for Moscow Dynamo in the KHL, scored his first career goal in Russia’s top league on January 8. It was the team’s only goal in a 3-1 loss to Torpedo.

Trineyev, 20, notched his second career KHL goal on Thursday in Dyanmo’s 3-0 win over Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg. He also added an assist in the game.

Trineyev began the month of January with an impressive primary assist on January 3. He would setup the tally with a pass while flat on the ice.

Trineyev now has two goals and seven assists in 26 games played in the KHL. He initially floated around the lineup but has settled in at left wing on the second line for most of the month of January.

Trineyev, a 6’-2”, 190lb winger, was drafted by the Capitals in the 4th round (#117 overall) of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. 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 before Hershey’s postseason concluded.

Trineyev’s brief trip to the US last spring included a trip to DC for a short visit with fellow Russians currently in the Capitals system. Alex Ovechkin had already returned to Russia, but Trineyev did get to spend some time with his idol before he departed.

“I saw him, but not as much as I would like. Alexander was busy with his business in the NHL playoffs. (laughs) I know that he often visits Dynamo in the summer, so I will have a chance to ask him a few questions.”

Trineyev did indeed catch-up with his idol over the summer and skated in an exhibition game with Ovechkin on August 21.

The ideal development scenario for Trineyev would see him play the majority of the season at the KHL level and and be primed for a return to Hershey in September.
