Arseniy Gritsyuk: “I like the style of play of Panarin and Kaprizov, Tarasenko and Ovechkin”

Forward of the Russian national team and Avangard Omsk Arseniy Gritsyuk said that of the Russian NHL players, he most likes the style of play of Artemy Panarin, Vladimir Tarasenko and Alexander Ovechkin, but he especially noted Kirill Kaprizov.

– All our guys playing in the NHL are worthy of attention. I like the playing style of Artemy Panarin and Kirill Kaprizov, Vladimir Tarasenko and Alexander Ovechkin. You just need to choose one person who evokes sympathy for the style, and adopt some details. Of course, it’s impressive how Kaprizov proved himself in Russia, and then left for the NHL and proved there that he can do anything. I really like him both as a player and as a person, although I don’t know him yet. But what Kirill does on and off the ice is very cool, ”Gritsyuk said in an interview with RT.

Gritsyuk answered the question whether he adopts some things from NHL players.

– Yes, let’s say the forward used a new feint, and he succeeded. And you want to repeat it, so that in a match, when a similar situation arises, try to play similarly. If it passes, then why not? Gritsyuk said.

This season, Gritsyuk won the silver of the 2022 Games in Beijing as part of the Russian team.

In the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, Kaprizov was selected by the Minnesota Club in the fifth round under the overall number 135, he became the 2018 Olympic champion as part of the Russian team, and also won the 2019 Gagarin Cup in CSKA.
