Dmitri Vladimirovich Orlov (Russian: Дмитрий Орлов, Dmitry Orlov; born July 23, 1991) is a Russian professional ice hockey player.[1] He is currently playing with the Hershey Bears in the American Hockey League.

Playing career

Orlov was drafted by the Washington Capitals 55th overall in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.[2] He represented Russia at the 2010 and 2011 World Junior Championships, getting named to the 2011 tournament All-Star team and winning the 2011 gold medal with Team Russia.[3]

Dmitri Orlov made his North American professional debut with the Hershey Bears, the AHL affiliate of the Washington Capitals on February 26, 2011, in a 4-3 win over the Albany Devils. He registered an assist in his debut.[4]

Orlov scored his first North American professional goal in a Hershey Bears 3-2 loss to the Worcester Sharks on March 9, 2011.[5]

Orlov signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Washington Capitals on March 2, 2011.[6]

The Capitals recalled Orlov from Hershey on November 20, 2011[7] and Orlov made his NHL debut on November 21, 2011 against the Phoenix Coyotes.[8]

Orlov scored his first NHL goal on January 15, 2012, on Cam Ward of the Carolina Hurricanes.[9] It was the game-winning goal in a 2-1 Capitals victory over the Hurricanes.

Due to the 2012 NHL lockout, Orlov was assigned directly to the Hershey Bears to start the 2012–13 AHL season. Upon a resolution to the lockout, Orlov was recalled and attended the Capitals training camp for the shortened season.
