Providence Bruins defenseman Daniil Misyul has signed a one-year deal in Russia with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, it was announced earlier this week. 

A 2019 third round pick of the New Jersey Devils, Misyul split time this season between the Bruins, Utica Comets and the Devils. Over a combined 58 AHL games, he scored one goal and added eight assists for nine points while going pointless in one NHL appearance. 

Since coming over to North America for the 2023-24 season, Misyul has only gotten in one NHL game but has accumulated 23 points over 102 career AHL regular season games. Prior to making the trek, Misyul spent parts of five seasons playing in the KHL with Lokomotiv. 

As Misyul heads back to Russia, the chances of him coming back stateside are likely pretty slim. He seems to have a good relationship with Lokomotiv, and the chance to continue playing in the organization he's spent a lot of time with in the past will likely keep him in Russia for the foreseeable future.
