"Gamzin, 22, a fourth-round pick by the Islanders in 2024, has been lights out this season, sporting a league-best 1.80 GAA, with a .929 SV%, and recorded his third shutout of the season on Sunday in a 1-0 SO loss. The Islanders' current starting netminder, Ilya Sorokin, was groomed within the CSKA organization, and Gamzin is beginning to draw comparisons to the former Gamzin Cup winner."
"According to Ryan Bader of Hockey Prospecting, Gamzin, now in his draft +4 year, has a rating similar to Sorokin. In fact, in their full comparisons to NHL's, Sorokin and Gamzin both compare to NY Rangers netminder Igor Shesterkin, one of the best goaltenders in the world. With no current projected timeline regarding a jump to the NHL, Gamzin is under contract with CSKA through the 2027-28 season after signing a two-year extension in the off-season."
CSKA Moscow sits in the final playoff spot in the KHL's Eastern Conference with 29 games remaining and is struggling this season. Goaltender Dmitry Gamzin, a 22-year-old fourth-round pick by the New York Islanders in 2024, has been outstanding with a league-best 1.80 GAA, .929 save percentage, and three shutouts. Gamzin draws comparisons to Ilya Sorokin and rates similarly according to Hockey Prospecting, with both likened to Igor Shesterkin. Gamzin is under contract with CSKA through 2027-28 after a two-year extension, and no NHL timeline currently exists for his move.
