Playing career

Samorukov played major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League with the Guelph Storm and was drafted by the Oilers in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft in the third round, 84th overall.[1] He signed an entry level contract on 7 September 2017.[2] In the 2020–21 season, he played one season in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) with CSKA Moscow due to COVID-19-related stoppages in North American hockey, but returned to Bakersfield for the next season.[3]

On 9 October 2022, Samorukov was traded by the Oilers to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for fellow Russian, Klim Kostin.[4][5]
