Kirill Vladimirovich Kirsanov (Russian: Кирилл Владимирович Кирсанов; born 19 September 2002) is a Russian professional ice hockey defenceman for the Ontario Reign in the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract as a prospect to the Los Angeles Kings in the National Hockey League (NHL).[1] He was selected by the Kings in the third-round, 84th overall, of the 2021 NHL entry draft.[2]
Following four seasons within SKA Saint Petersburg, Kirsanov was released from the organization and returned to fellow KHL outfit and original junior development team, HC Vityaz, for the 2023–24 season on 1 May 2023.[3] Kirsanov made just two appearances with Vityaz, going scoreless, before he was traded along with financial compensation to Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod in exchange for Alexander Daryin and Ivan Vorobyov on 13 October 2023.[4]
