Enver Gennadievich Lisin (Russian: Э́нвер Генна́дьевич Ли́син; born April 22, 1986) is a Russian former professional ice hockey forward. He played in the National Hockey League (NHL) and the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).[1] He was Russian champion in 2006 and won European champion's cup in 2007. Lisin was drafted 50th overall in the 2004 NHL entry draft by the Phoenix Coyotes.
As a boy, Lisin played in the 2000 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with the HC CSKA Moscow youth team.[2]
Known for being a very fast skater, Lisin played two seasons in the top tier Russian Superleague before opting to pursue his North American career with the Coyotes.[3] His nickname in the Phoenix Coyotes locker room was Webster.[4]
Lisin was traded to the New York Rangers from the Coyotes in exchange for Lauri Korpikoski on July 13, 2009.[5] He became an unrestricted free agent on July 1, 2010, when the Rangers declined to make him a qualifying offer.[6][7] With limited NHL interest he decided to continue his career in his native Russia joining Metallurg Magnitogorsk of the KHL on October 4, 2010.[citation needed]
After stints with Admiral Vladivostok and CSKA Moscow, Lisin signed a two-year contract as a free agent with Salavat Yulaev Ufa on May 1, 2015.[8]
Lisin played three seasons with Ufa, before beginning the 2018–19 season with HC Sibir Novosibirsk. He registered 4 assists in 10 games before he left to sign for the remainder of the season with Spartak Moscow on October 10, 2018.[9]
On May 1, 2019, as a free agent from Spartak, Lisin signed a one-year KHL contract with Traktor Chelyabinsk.[10]
