History
2005-06: Lemtyugov suited up with CSKA Moscow in the Russian Super League. His offensive production was encouraging, as he managed 20 points in 37 games, as well as a solid plus-10 rating. He was called up to the national team for the World Juniors, and enjoyed an excellent tournament. The Russian winger tallied four goals as his team came away with a silver medal for their efforts.
2006-07: Lemtyugov was transferred to RSL club Severstal Cherepovets for the season. His production dwindled somewhat, but he still ended up as one of the team’s better scorers, and surpassed 2005-06’s goal total with 11.
2007-08: The dynamic Russian forward brought his game to the States this season, suiting up for 69 games in Peoria (AHL). He tallied 37 points (22g+15a) with the Rivermen, a career-high total.
Talent Analysis
Lemtyugov is a good all-around offensive player, and he also shows responsibility in defending his own zone. He is willing to take a hit to make a play, and uses his strong skating stride to get into the open. He also possesses an impressive wrist-shot, which gives him quick-strike ability.
