"Drafted in the fifth-round (152nd overall) in the 2024 NHL Draft, Plesovskikh is doing well, given his stat line above, for MHK Spartak Moskva in the Russian league, MHL. The 19-year-old is second on the team in both points and goals. In his last five games, he has been on fire, as he tallied five points (three goals, two assists) and seven points (three goals, four assists) in his last 10 games played."
"He skates well, being quick and agile with the puck, as shown above. His six-foot-one size and frame are an advantage in puck battles. Plesovskikh has only played in Russia and has yet to touch North American ice. If he continues to put up numbers as he has so far, there is a fair chance he moves closer to the Leafs."
Toronto Maple Leafs have a track record of drafting players who reach the NHL, including Auston Matthews, William Nylander, Matthew Knies, Easton Cowan, and Nick Robertson. Alexander Plesovskikh, a 19-year-old drafted 152nd overall in 2024, has 17 goals and 33 points in 34 MHL games for MHK Spartak Moskva and ranks second on his team in points and goals. Plesovskikh skates quickly, is agile with the puck, and uses his six-foot-one frame effectively in puck battles, though he has not yet played in North America. Wyatt Schingoethe, a 23-year-old drafted 195th overall in 2020, has 15 goals and 26 points in 15 games with the Stuttgart Rebels (Oberliga) and has recorded eight points in his last five games, positioning both players as possible future additions closer to the Leafs organization.
