Grigori Denisenko - NHL News & Rumors

Bound for Russia Denisenko signed a one-year contract with AK Bars Kazan (KHL) on Tuesday.

Impact Denisenko logged just one NHL game last year in which he generated five hits and two PIM in 8:27 of ice time. While the door likely remains open, the 25-year-old winger's stint in the NHL was far from productive -- he failed to score a goal in 33 outings -- so he may be hard-pressed to earn another opportunity.
