Career
Klimov spent several seasons with club teams and was a member of Russia's U18 and U20 national teams. The New Jersey Devils selected him late in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft as their 282nd overall pick, making him the last Russian selected that year.[1] Klimov made his Russian Superleague debut with HC Spartak Moscow during the 2005–2006 season. But when the club disintegrated during the summer of 2006, the young defenseman signed a tryout contract with Khimik Voskresensk, and spent the 2006–2007 season in that club's system.[2]
