Playing career

[edit]

Koltygin played as a youth in his native Russian within the Dynamo Moscow junior program. With NHL aspirations he was selected 9th overall in the 2016 CHL Import Draft by the Drummondville Voltigeurs of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL).

He spent three seasons in the QMJHL for the Drummondville Voltigeurs and was drafted in the sixth round, 176th overall, in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft by the Nashville Predators[2]

On 2 June 2019, Koltygin returned to Russia to begin his professional career in the Kontinental Hockey League, agreeing to a two-year contract with HC Vityaz.[3] In his first full professional campaign in 2019–20, Koltygin made his debut in the KHL, going pointless through 28 regular season games. On 8 May 2020, Koltygin was traded by Vityaz to powerhouse club, SKA Saint Petersburg, in exchange for Nail Yakupov.[4]

After three seasons within SKA, Koltygin was traded to Lada Togliatti in exchange for financial compensation on 6 July 2023.[5]
