ECHL: Worcester Railers Trade Artyom Kulakov to Allen Americans

The Worcester Railers announced Tuesday that they’ve traded defensemen Artyom Kulakov to the Allen Americans in exchange for future considerations. Kulakov was a solid piece on the Railers blueline, playing in 61 games last season, putting up four goals and eight assists for 12 points in 61 games. He also led all Railer blueliners in penalty minutes last season (74).

The 21-year-old defenseman joined the club for the 2022-23 campaign. He was onboarded at the end of his second year with the Erie Otters of the Ontario Hockey League. In 68 games in Worcester, he tallied 14 points with five goals and nine assists. He managed to put in 76 penalty minutes as well. In two seasons with the Erie Otters, Kulakov recorded 145 penalty minutes to go along with 16 points (5-11-16) in 102 games played. His 2021-22 season was spent in Erie was his first season in the United States after coming overseas from Russia.

“Artyom (Kulakov) is a hard nosed, simple defenseman who gives it all every shift,” said Head Coach B.J Adams. “Having coached him in junior hockey, I know we are getting a player who is committed to our organization, and will leave it all out there on the ice.”

The Allen Americans will receive a good one in the name of defensemen Artyom Kulakov. The Allen Americans have struggled on the defensive side of the puck adding a young player with Artyom Kulakov’s skills can allow for more depth with their line changes.
