Vladislav Kolyachonok's story
His first NHL night left an impression: Kolyachonok debuted on 12 January 2022 during Arizona's upset of Toronto. Born and raised in Belarus, he cut his teeth in the Dinamo Minsk development system, skating for his country at U17 and U18 levels in the Vysshaya Liga.
Kolyachonok crossed the Atlantic after being picked in the CHL Import Draft by the London Knights, appearing once for London before being claimed off waivers by the Flint Firebirds early in 2018–19. In Flint he revealed offensive instincts from the blue line, compiling 29 points in 53 games and earning a spot on the OHL All-Rookie Team; his final junior year produced 12 goals and 33 points.
Selected 52nd overall by the Florida Panthers in the 2019 draft, he signed a three-year entry-level deal on 13 September 2019. With the 2020–21 season delayed, Florida loaned him back to Dinamo Minsk where he made his professional debut in the KHL, then returned to North America for stints in the AHL with Syracuse. Traded to Arizona on 26 July 2021, he split time between the Tucson Roadrunners and the Coyotes, registering his first NHL goal against Jacob Markström.
When the Coyotes' franchise was suspended, Kolyachonok's rights moved to the expansion Utah Hockey Club; he signed a two-year extension and was in Utah's inaugural lineup. Transactions followed: Pittsburgh claimed him off waivers in February 2025, he was later traded to the Dallas Stars in July 2025 in a deal involving Matt Dumba, then briefly claimed by Boston in December 2025 before Dallas reclaimed him in January 2026. As a restricted free agent not given a qualifying offer, he hit unrestricted free agency and signed a one-year contract with the New Jersey Devils on 1 July 2026.
On the international stage he has worn Belarus colours at junior and senior levels. His game combines mobility and puck-moving from the blue line: a defenseman who supports breakouts and chips in offensively while carrying defensive duties.
