Shanghai Dragons Sign Wyatt Kalynuk

The Shanghai Dragons have signed Canadian defenseman Wyatt Kalynuk to a contract through the end of the season.

Earlier this KHL season, Kalynuk appeared in 20 games with Ak Bars and Salavat Yulaev, recording 5 points (1 goal, 4 assists).

Igor Varitsky, General Manager of the Shanghai Dragons:

“A mobile defenseman who can play on the power play, moves the puck well, and supports the attack. He showed solid performance both in the AHL and in Finland, where he collected 36 points, including 10 goals. Wyatt is already familiar with the KHL after stints in Kazan and Ufa, and he’ll fit into a system he knows well. He’ll bring speed and offensive potential to our blue line.”

Kalynuk will wear number 2 for the Dragons.
