Nikita Sergeyevich Guslistov (Russian: Никита Сергеевич Гуслистов; born 30 May 2002) is a Russian professional ice hockey player for Metallurg Novokuznetsk of the Supreme Hockey League (VHL).
Guslistov made his professional debut for Severstal Cherepovets during the 2020–21 season. At 18-years old, 242 days, he became the youngest player ever to captain a KHL team, surpassing the previous record held by Vladimir Tarasenko.[1] He also became the youngest player to ever score a hat-trick for Cherepovets.[2] He was drafted in the seventh round, 209th overall, by the Carolina Hurricanes in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft.[3]
After four seasons with Severstal Cherepovets and out of contract with the club, Guslistov's rights were traded to Belarusian KHL club, Dinamo Minsk in exchange for the right to Joseph Duszak on 17 July 2024.[4] He was signed to a two-year, two-way contract with Dinamo two days later on 19 July 2024.[5]
Guslistov played out the 2024–25 season in a brief stint with Admiral Vladivostok before leaving as a free agent in the off-season to sign a contract with VHL club, Metallurg Novokuznetsk on 25 July 2025.[6]
