Mikhail Vorobyov will play for Nizhny Novgorod.

      On June 1, the hockey club "Torpedo" announced the signing of a contract with Vorobyov. The website pravda-nn.ru announced Mikhail's transfer from SKA, publishing the news on May 29. "The center forward spent the last 4 seasons in Saint Petersburg, demonstrating high scoring ability and ranking among the best playmakers of his team. Interestingly, Mikhail began utilizing his playmaking skills early in his career. At the 2017 World Junior Championship, he became the best assistant in the history of the tournaments, helping the Russian national team win medals," noted the Torpedo's online resources. It should be clarified that the awards were bronze, and the Ufa native Vorobyov made 10 assists. His line mate was his teammate from "Salavat Yulaev," Kirill Kaprizov – a current NHL star. "Vorobyov spent 3 seasons in the Philadelphia Flyers organization, where he earned points both for the AHL team and in the main roster of the 'Flyers' in the NHL. He was called up to the Russian national team for international matches and tournaments," the press service of "Torpedo" quoted again. The message also highlights Vorobyov's strong performance in face-offs. "In our opinion, Mikhail is among the top three center forwards in the KHL, and we consider his joining our team a success. We believe he can become one of the new symbols of 'Torpedo' and help the club achieve better results in its history," summarized the general director of HC "Torpedo," Evgeny Zabuga.
