German Alexandrovich Rubtsov (Russian: Герман Александрович Рубцов; born 27 June 1998) is a Russian professional ice hockey player. He is currently playing with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect under contract to the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected by the Flyers in the first round, 22nd overall, in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.[1]
Playing career[]
He played with Vityaz junior team, Russkie Vityazi, before competing in the 2015–16 season for Team Russia U18 of the Junior Hockey League (MHL).[2]
He signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Flyers on 2 March 2017.[3]
During the 2019–20 season, Rubtsov made his NHL debut with the Flyers on 1 November 2019.[4] He appeared in four games with the Flyers, going scoreless, before returning to the AHL with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Rubtsov collected just 2 goals and 13 points in 42 regular season games with the Phantoms before the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Rubtsov was initially named to Flyers Return to Play squad to participate in training camp in preparation for the playoffs. He was left off the final roster and on 23 August 2020, he was loaned to Russian club, HC Sochi of the KHL, until the commencement of the delayed 2020–21 North American season.[5] Rubtsov continued with HC Sochi and was later determined to remain with the club for the duration of the campaign, finishing with 3 goals and 11 points through 46 regular season games.
With a year still remaining on his entry-level contract with the Flyers, in the off-season Rubtsov's KHL rights were traded from Sochi to SKA Saint Petersburg on 17 August 2021.[6]
