Vitali Kravtsov News

Kravtsov was dealt from the New York Rangers to Vancouver over the weekend and will make his Canucks' debut Monday vs. Dallas. The 23-year-old has three goals, three assists, 26 SOG and six PIMs through 28 games with the Rangers.

Kravtsov last suited up for the Rangers on January 23rd as he was a healthy scratch but finds himself back in New York's lineup as they take on Seattle Friday. The 23-year-old has three goals, three assists, 26 SOG, six PIMs and a +5 plus/minus through 27 games played in his second NHL season.

Kravtsov has been a healthy scratch since Dec. 5th but will draw back into the lineup Thursday vs. Toronto. The 22-year-old, 2018 1st round pick (9th overall) has been a bit of a disappointment in his second season in the NHL, with a goal, an assist, seven SOG and six PIMs through 10 games so far.

Kravtsov will be a healthy scratch yet again after playing in the Rangers' last four games. The 22-year-old has a goal, and an assist with a +4 plus/minus in 10 games prior to heading to the press box Wednesday.

Kravtsov has been a healthy scratch for the Rangers' last six games after dealing with two injuries that have taken him out of the lineup already this season. The 22-year-old has one assist and three SOG through six games this season while averaging 8:45 ATOI.

Kravtsov is experiencing concussion-like symptoms and will miss at least a week for the New York Rangers. It has been a tough start to the 2022-23 season for the 2018 1st rd pick (9th overall) who was just returning from a previous injury and has yet to collect his first point or even shot of the season after playing four games so far.

Kravtsov missed Wednesday's loss to the Islanders with an upper-body injury but the Rangers said that he's cleared to play Saturday afternoon in Dallas. Kravtsov will skate on the third line with Barclay Goodrow and Julien Gauthier.

Kravtsov will slot out of the lineup due to an upper-body injury as Julien Gauthier takes his spot for his first game of the season. Through three games in 2022-23, Kravtsov was yet to get a point while going +2 with no SOG.

Kravtsov left Tuesday's game in the first period and did not return. He will not make the trip to Minnesota or Winnipeg but could be back for next week's game vs. Anaheim. Alexis Lafreniere moved up to the second line after Kravtsov left the game.

Kravtsov, 19, was the No.9 overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft and one of the Rangers top prospects. The Russian right winger had eight goals and 13 assists (21 points0 in 50 games with Chelyabinsk Traktor of the KHL this season.

During his first full season in the KHL, Kravtsov scored four goals with three assists (seven points) in 35 games with Chelyabinsk Traktor. He also went on to compile 11 points (6G / 5A) in just 16 KHL playoff games. Kravtsov has the ability to quickly become a top-6 NHL winger. He has good size (6-foot-2 / 183 lbs.) and combines it with a strong two-way game.
