Alexander Semin

Alexander Semin

Alexander Semin was a First Round Pick of the Washington Capitals in 2002, making the team a year later, but his NHL progress was delayed by having to serve two years in the Russian Army.

Semin returned and was a productive wing for the Caps, producing three 70-Point seasons for the club, peaking with an 84-Point year in 2009/10, where he was seventh in Goals with 40.  After seven years in Washington, Semin signed with the Carolina Hurricanes, playing three years there before one year in Montreal.

Following the 2015/16 Season, Semin returned home to Russia, where he played for six years before retiring.  While representing Russia, Semin won four medals in the World Hockey Championships; 2 Gold, 1 Silver, and 1 Bronze.

He scored 517 Points in the NHL, 408 of them as a Capital.
