Playing career

Kugryshev was selected by the Washington Capitals in the 2nd round (58th overall) of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. He originally pursued his NHL ambition in transitioning to a major junior career in North America with the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League before signing a three-year entry-level contract with the Capitals on March 9, 2010.[1]

At the completion of the 2016–17 season, Kugryshev alongside Semyon Koshelyov was traded by CSKA to Avangard Omsk in exchange for Anton Burdasov on May 2, 2017.[2]

After spending the 2017–18 season, with Avangard posting 11 goals and 25 points in 50 games, Kugryshev left as a free agent to sign a one-year deal with Salavat Yulaev Ufa on May 1, 2018.[3]

On 8 July 2021, Kugryshev joined his fifth KHL outfit, in agreeing to a two-year contract as a free agent with HC Spartak Moscow.[4]

During his final season under contract with Spartak Moscow in 2022–23, in collecting just 2 goals and 3 points in 17 games, Kugryshev was transferred from Spartak to divisional rivals, HC Vityaz, on 21 November 2022.[5]

After playing out the remainder of his contract with Vityaz, Kugrshev left the club in the off-season. As a free agent, Kugryshev opted to join Lada Togliatti for their return to the KHL, by signing a one-year contract for the 2023–24 season on 19 June 2023.[6]

Kugryshev married Yana Kudryavtseva, an Olympic rhythmic gymnast, in 2018.[7] They have two daughters : Eva, born on 25 December 2018 and Zoya, born on 29 August 2020.
