The San Jose Sharks drafted forward Igor Chernyshov 33rd overall Saturday to kick off the second round of the 2024 NHL Draft.

Chernyshov had 28 points in 22 games in the Russian junior league this past season while also making 34 appearances with the KHL's Dynamo Moscow.

The 18-year-old winger entered the draft as Central Scouting's ninth-ranked international skater and slotted fifth among forwards. Chernyshov is listed at 6-foot-3, 204 pounds.

The Sharks had two first-round picks Friday, choosing Macklin Celebrini first overall and Sam Dickinson at 11th. San Jose has six additional selections to make over the weekend after taking Chernyshov.
