Dmitri Kazionov

Dmitri Kazionov is a Russian center on Ak Bars Kazan.

Kazionov was drafted by the Tampa Bay Lightining in 2002, after playing three years in the Russian lower-tier leagues. He opted to stay in Russia, however, and signed with Lada Togliatti. In 2003-04, his first full season of senior pro hockey, he scored 5 goals and 10 points. He split the 2005-06 season between Lada Togliatti and Dynamo Moscow, and went on to join Ak Bars Kazan the following year. He immediately saw his game improve, and has scored at least 20 points in each of the last four seasons. He won his first Gagarin Cup with the team in 2009, and set a career high with 18 goals and 27 points in 2009-10, en route to winning his second Gagarin Cup.
