Nikolay Sergeevich Goldobin (Николай Сергеевич Голдобин, born October 7, 1995) is a Russian professional ice hockey player who is currently playing with the San Jose Barracuda in the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect of the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League (NHL). He has previously played in the Liiga with HIFK. Goldobin was selected by the Sharks in the first round (27th overall) of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Junior

Goldobin was drafted by the Sarnia Sting in the 1st round (36th overall) of the 2012 OHL Priority Selection. Goldobin was also selected 8th overall by Metallurg Novokuznetsk in the 2012 KHL Junior Draft. Goldobin is rated as a top prospect who was viewed as a possible top 15 selection heading into the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.[1]

Goldobin began his major junior career in 2011 playing with Russkie Vityazi Chekhov in the Russian Junior Hockey League and he was chosen to compete at the 2012 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament with Team Russia.[2] He joined the Sarnia Sting in 2012 where he led all rookies in goals (30) and points (68) during the 2012–13 OHL season.[3] His outstanding play continued during his second season with Sarnia, as he led the Sting with 94 points in 67 games, good enough for 6th in scoring in the league for the 2013–14 OHL season. He was invited to play in the 2014 CHL Top Prospects Game where he scored a goal and an assist, and was named player of the game for Team Cherry.[4]

Professional

On September 26, 2014, the Sharks announced they had signed Goldobin to a three-year entry level contract.[5] He was later reassigned to Finnish club, HIFK for the 2014–15 Liiga season.[6]

In his first full North American season, Goldobin was assigned to begin the 2015–16 season with the Sharks AHL affiliate, the San Jose Barracuda. After one game with the Barracuda, Goldobin received a recall to the Sharks following an injury to center Logan Couture on October 16, 2015.[7] He was inserted immediately into the Sharks top scoring line and made his NHL debut in a 2-1 shootout victory over the New Jersey Devils.[8] In his second game, Goldobin scored his first NHL goal against Jaroslav Halak of the New York Islanders on October 17, 2015, on a feed from Joe Thornton.[9]
