Timeline
Alexei Zhitnik (Олексій Миколайович Житник, Алексей Николаевич Житник; born October 10, 1972) is a Ukrainian-Russian former professional ice hockey defenceman.
Zhitnik has played more games in the National Hockey League (NHL) (1,085) than any other Soviet-born defenceman.
He has represented the Soviet Union, CIS, and Russia internationally; and Ukraine during two NHL All-Star Games.
His number, 13, has been honored by Sokil Kyiv.
Zhitnik was drafted 81st overall by the Los Angeles Kings in the 1991 NHL Entry Draft after playing for Sokil Kyiv in the Soviet Championship League for two years.
After another year, he came to the NHL for the 1992–93 NHL season.
Zhitnik made his NHL debut on October 6, 1992, against the Calgary Flames and scored his first goal nine nights later, also against Calgary.
In his rookie season with the Kings, he finished second among rookie defenceman in points with 48.
He was an important part of the Kings' playoff run to the Stanley Cup Finals, where they lost to the Montreal Canadiens.
He became one of the team's best players, helping the Sabres win the Northeast Division in the 1996–97 NHL season, his second full year with the team.
In the 1997–98 NHL season, he led all defensemen in shorthanded goals (3).
He also helped the Sabres reach the finals in the 1998–99 NHL season and stayed on the team until the 2004–05 NHL lockout when he returned to the Russian Super League.
Following the lockout, Zhitnik signed a four-year contract with the New York Islanders.
He became an effective force on the team, and even though he missed the last 18 games of the season with a fractured ankle, he finished second among team defenceman in scoring.
On December 16, 2006, Zhitnik was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers for Freddy Meyer and a conditional third-round draft pick.
However, he was traded two months later on February 24, 2007, to the Atlanta Thrashers to add experience for playoffs, in exchange for Braydon Coburn.
Due to Zhitnik's disappointing play and the Thrashers focus on rebuilding, the team bought out Zhitnik's contract on June 30, 2008, making him a free agent.
On July 26, 2008, Zhitnik joined the Kontinental Hockey League, signing a tryout contract with Dynamo Moscow.
He played for Ukraine at the Maccabi “Jewish Olympics” in 2013 and 2017.
Zhitnik also won a gold medal as part of Team Ukraine's Masters hockey team at the 2017 Maccabiah Games.
