Mikhail Sergachev made an impact during his first season with Utah. Let’s take a look back at his contributions on and off the ice.

On the Ice

A strong presence on Utah’s blueline and a player who brings leadership and experience to the team, Mikhail Sergachev was a key player in his first year with the organization.

Sergachev played 77 games last season. He scored 15 goals and contributed 38 assists for 53 points. Despite being a defenseman, Sergachev had the fourth most assists and fifth most points on the team. Sergachev also brought a lot to the power play, as he had 23 power play points, including three power play goals.

With an average time on ice of 25:07 per game, Sergachev led the Mammoth in playing time. He was only one of three Mammoth players to score a shorthanded goal in the team’s inaugural season, while his two overtime goals were second-most on the team. On the scoresheet, and on the ice, Sergachev was an impactful presence. He helped fuel offense while being strong defensively.

During the 2024-25 season, Sergachev hit some personal milestones as well. On Dec. 2, he played in his 500th NHL game against the Dallas Stars. On Mar. 12, Sergachev collected his 300th career NHL point with a primary assist on Dylan Guenther’s goal.
