Andrej Sekara enjoyed a long career in the NHL, with the first half appearing as a Buffalo Sabre, but he had greater success with other teams after he left Western New York.

The Defenceman was traded to Carolina in 2013, and he had his best season offensively with a personal best of 44 Points.  After a brief stay in Los Angeles, Sekara had back-to-back 30-plus Point years, but injuries kept him from having an entire season again, and he spent his last four years in a veteran role on lower pairings as a Dallas Star. 

A very clean player, Sekara only had 212 Penalty Minutes over a 15-year career but only received Lady Byng votes once. Sekara only appeared in the playoffs four times but did succeed in other tournaments, namely as a member of Team Europe in the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.

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.

Sports enthusiasts certainly love untypical forms of entertainment that might ensure the same rush of adrenaline as a heated game of their favorite sport. However, sometimes it might be challenging to find something that will engage you the same as a great match between rival teams. Here are some suggestions for the best forms of entertainment that will satisfy even the pickiest sports enthusiasts.

Pavel Datsyuk might be one of the best stick handlers the world of hockey has ever seen.

A Red Wing for his entire NHL career, Datsyuk was lightly scouted and wasn't noticed until the 1998 Draft when the Red Wings (who were the only team that seemed to be aware of the Russian) took him in the Fourth Round. Three years later, Datsyuk reported to Detroit, scoring 35 Points as a rookie and finishing fourth in Calder voting. Datsyuk also helped Detroit win the Stanley Cup, a fantastic accomplishment for a rookie.

The Russian Center gradually improved over the next few years, and he posted back-to-back 87 Point years (2005-06 & 2006-07), which he followed with two 97-Point campaigns. In all four of those years, Datsyuk won the Lady Byng, and he also had a three-year run of Frank J. Selke wins (2008-10). The gifted two-way player won a second Stanley Cup in 2008, and Datsyuk's overall post-season performance saw him score 113 Points.

Datsyuk stayed with Detroit until 2016, and he had three more years with a third-place finish for the Selke. A Second Team-All-Star in 2008-09 (he was third in Hart voting that year), Datsyuk went to three All-Star Games and had 918 Points for Detroit.    

Datsyuk was traded to Arizona in a cap move, but he never played for them, electing the play in KHL instead. Datsyuk scored 918 Points over his NHL career, and while representing Russia, he won a Gold Medal in the 2016 Olympics.
