Boris Katchouk - NHL News & Rumors

Heads for KHL Katchouk signed a one-year contract with Traktor Chelyabinsk (KHL) on Thursday, AHL Insider Tony Androckitis reports.

Impact Katchouk saw action in three NHL games for the Lightning last season in which he produced five hits and two blocks while averaging 12:11 of ice time. Selected by Tampa Bay in the second round of the 2016 NHL Draft, the 28-year-old winger has logged 179 games across parts of four seasons. At this point, Katchouk looks like a long shot to ever permanently establish himself as an NHL option.

Big game for Phantoms Katchouk scored three goals and added an assist in AHL Lehigh Valley's 4-2 win over Hershey on Saturday.

Impact Katchouk has played for three organizations this season, but he's found his most success with Lehigh Valley. He's earned nine points in 10 games for the Phantoms since he was flipped from the Wild organization. Overall, the veteran winger has 22 points over 40 AHL appearances this season.

Joining new organization Katchouk was dealt from the Wild to the Flyers on Sunday in exchange for Roman Schmidt.

Impact Katchouk played in three games for the Lightning earlier this season before being traded to the Wild in late December. The 2016 second-round pick has posted a total of five goals and 13 points over 29 games between AHL Syracuse and Iowa in 2025-26. The 27-year-old winger will now link up with AHL Lehigh Valley.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Back down with Iowa Katchouk has been reassigned to AHL Iowa by the Wild, the team announced Sunday.

Impact Katchouk was brought up to help the Wild fill out practice while they await the return of all of the players from Milan. With everyone on their way back, the 27-year-old has been returned to AHL Iowa. Since being acquired by the Wild in a minor-league trade in late December from the Lightning, he has recorded one goal and one assist in five games with Iowa.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Called up by Minnesota Katchouk was recalled from AHL Iowa on Wednesday.

Impact Katchouk was acquired by Minnesota in late December, and he'll join the NHL club for the first time. However, he'll likely head back to the minors after having an opportunity to skate with the Wild during practice before the team resumes play Feb. 26.

FEBRUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Involved in minor-league swap Katchouk was acquired by Minnesota from Tampa Bay on Sunday in exchange for Michael Milne.

Impact Katchouk has four goals and 10 points in 21 minor-league appearances this season. The 27-year-old forward has 15 goals and 36 points in 179 career NHL regular-season outings. Following the trade, Katchouk will report to AHL Iowa.

DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down Monday Katchouk was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Monday.

Impact Katchouk spent the last few days with the NHL club and made three appearances, recording no points, five hits and two blocked shots while averaging 12:11 of ice time. However, his return to the minors could mean that Anthony Cirelli (upper body) is getting closer to returning after missing the last four games.

NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Called up from minors Katchouk was elevated from AHL Syracuse on Wednesday.

Impact Katchouk hasn't played in an NHL game since the 2023-24 campaign but could be pressed into service versus the Rangers on Wednesday. Whether the 27-year-old winger gets into the game will likely depend on the health of Anthony Cirelli (upper body) and Pontus Holmberg (undisclosed).

NOVEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Two points in AHL win Katchouk scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in AHL Syracuse's 5-3 win over Belleville on Sunday.

Impact Katchouk is in his second stint with the Lightning organization, but he missed out on the NHL Opening Night roster. The 27-year-old probably isn't even the top option for a call-up should injuries arise for the Lightning -- Jakob Pelletier offers some skill while Scott Sabourin (suspension) could provide grit once his ban is completed by sitting out games at the NHL level. Katchouk had 13 points over 59 regular-season contests between Chicago and Ottawa in 2023-24, which was his last taste of NHL action.

Lightning get closer to opening-night roster after another round of cuts Tampa Bay is down to 26 players ahead of Monday’s deadline. Boris Katchouk and Jakob Pelletier hitting waivers is a bit of a surprise.

Placed on waivers Katchouk was put on waivers by Tampa Bay on Wednesday.

Impact Although Katchouk has logged 176 career regular-season games in the NHL, he spent the full 2024-25 regular season with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, recording 21 goals and 49 points in 67 outings. The 27-year-old is expected to report to AHL Syracuse if he clears waivers.

OCTOBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Inks one-year contract Katchouk signed a one-year, two-way contract with Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

Impact Katchouk recorded 21 goals and 49 points in 67 regular-season appearances with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2024-25. The 27-year-old forward may spend most of the 2025-26 campaign in the minors, but he will compete for a depth role with the Lightning during training camp.

JULY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Misses out on roster Katchouk was released from his professional tryout with the Ducks on Monday.

Impact Katchouk was unable to win a roster spot in training camp. The 26-year-old winger remains a free agent and could still draw interest on a two-way contract from another organization.

OCTOBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets tryout chance with Anaheim Katchouk signed a professional tryout agreement with the Ducks on Wednesday, Patrick Present of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Katchouk split last year between the Blackhawks and the Senators, collecting 13 points, 70 shots on net and 82 hits over 59 contests. The 26-year-old has spent the bulk of the last three years in the NHL, though the Ducks are unlikely to sign him if it would mean blocking a prospect from moving up. If Katchouk spends 2024-25 with Anaheim, he'll likely play on the fourth line.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set for free agency Katchouk did not receive a qualifying offer from Ottawa and will become an unrestricted free agent Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Katchouk has bounced around a bit since reaching the NHL level; he's played for three teams in the last three seasons. Last year, he totaled 13 points in 59 games with Chicago and Ottawa. He's scored 36 points in 176 career NHL appearances.

JUNE 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two points in Sens' win Katchouk logged a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.

Impact Katchouk grabbed an assist on Artem Zub's opening goal 2:37 into the first period before extending Ottawa's lead to 2-0 just a few minutes later, deflecting a Parker Kelly shot for his first goal in 10 games with the Senators. The 25-year-old Katchouk now has six goals and 11 points across 47 games between Ottawa and Chicago this season. While he provides a physical presence, Katchouk isn't likely to offer consistent production offensively in a fourth-line role.

MARCH 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Claimed by Ottawa The Senators have claimed Katchouk off waivers from Chicago on Friday, according to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.

Impact Katchouk had five goals and four assists in 38 appearances with the Blackhawks this season. The winger should provide depth up front for the Senators as they have only 12 healthy forwards at this time.

MARCH 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on waivers Katchouk was put on waivers Thursday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

Impact Katchouk has five goals, nine points, 52 shots and 51 hits in 38 outings in 2023-24. The Blackhawks might send Katchouk to the minors if he clears, but it's also possible they only placed him on waivers to provide the team with additional roster flexibility ahead of Friday's trade deadline.

MARCH 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good for two points in OT win Katchouk posted a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-3 overtime win against the Islanders.

Impact Katchouk managed two shots on goal while blocking four shots in 15:43 of ice time. He also split his two faceoff opportunities. The 25-year-old Ontarian has three goals and five points across 10 games in January, his most productive month of the season. It was his first multi-point game since March 14, 2023 last season against the Bruins when he had a career-best three-point night.

Provides goal Saturday Katchouk netted a goal in a 3-1 loss to Chicago on Saturday.

Impact Katchouk found the back of the net midway through the second period to put the Blackhawks up 1-0. It was his fourth marker and seventh point in 24 outings this season. The Blackhawks' forward corps has been devastated by injuries, but Katchouk is still serving primarily on the fourth line and isn't getting regular minutes on the power play, so his offensive upside is minimal.

Garners helper in loss Katchouk earned an assist in Thursday's 4-1 defeat to the Rangers.

Impact This was Katchouk's first point since Nov. 28 against the Kraken, a stretch of 11 games during which he was a healthy scratch six times. With injuries pilling up at forward, Katachouk should continue to see minutes in a bottom-six role but might have to settle for a spot in the press box if the Hawks start to get healthy.

JANUARY 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back with Blackhawks Katchouk was recalled from AHL Rockford on Saturday, per Mark Lazerus of The Athletic.

Impact Katchouk was sent down to Rockford on Dec. 12 after passing through waivers and managed three goals and five points in six AHL games. He had only two goals and four points in 17 NHL games this season before his demotion.
