Pyotr Andreyanov – 2025 NHL Draft Prospect Profile

However, Andreyanov has yet to taste pro season experience. He exclusively played in the MHL, without stints in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) or at least the VHL. While in the big league, CSKA is pretty stacked with goalies, with Ivan Prosvetov and New York Islanders’ draftee Dmitri Gamzin getting most of the games, a call-up to the VHL would have been beneficial for Andreyanov. However, he is expected to make his KHL debut next season, even though the mentioned goalies will both be under contract with CSKA.

Andreyanov isn’t the biggest goalie around, standing at 6-foot-2 and weighing 207 pounds, and that will most likely hurt his stock during the selections. However, while modern successful goalies tend to be taller, he’s not small by any means and can compensate with agility and quickness. His post play is very strong, like his pad control on low shots, but he needs to work on his consistency and his slight tendency to overdo it when the puck gets closer to the crease. He likes to be adventurous with his stick, and that can backfire sometimes.

Pyotr Andreyanov – NHL Draft Projection

Andreyanov is another player whose stock could have been higher had Russia had a chance to compete on the international stage. Moreover, his height is likely to hold him back a bit. However, considering how Russian goalies are appreciated in the last few drafts, a third-round pick doesn’t seem out of the question. He may be one of the first goalies picked this year.

Quotables

“Very agile and quick to close off space. He’s an adventurous one when he has a chance to play the puck away from the net, leading to a few moments where you have to cling onto your seat, though makes up for it with the presence he has when at home.” – Dylan Griffing, Elite Prospects

“I consider Pyotr Andreyanov to be an exceptionally mobile athlete, capable of fluid and fast lateral movements that allow him to track the puck consistently. His quick explosiveness gives him a definite advantage, though at times, he unnecessarily slides onto his pads, adding extra movements in chaotic situations. However, this tendency is not alarming due to his remarkable athleticism.” – Mathieu Paradis, TSLH

NHL Potential

Andreyanov has enough skills and athleticism to make it to the NHL – in what capacity, it’s up to him. His play alone can guarantee a call in this year’s draft, but then he still has a long road in front of himself. He also has minimal experience outside of junior hockey, and while it’s theoretically nothing to be worried about at this point, he needs to play against stronger competition.
