Maxim Sushko (Russian: Максим Сергеевич Сушко; born 10 February 1999) is a Belarusian professional ice hockey forward who is currently playing for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms of the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect to the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL). Sushko was selected by the Flyers in the fourth round, 107th overall, of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.[1] Internationally he has played for the Belarusian national team at both the junior and senior level.
Playing Career[]
With the 2020–21 NHL season to be delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, on 17 July 2020 Sushko opted to return to Belarus and sign with the country's highest ranked professional team, HC Dinamo Minsk of the Kontinental Hockey League on loan from the Flyers, and play until the resumption of the North American season.[2] In 30 contests with Minsk, Sushko added 2 goals and 5 points before returning to the Flyers organization.
On 18 February 2021 Sushko made his NHL debut with the Flyers against the New York Rangers due to multiple COVID-19 related absences on the main roster.[3] He is only the 14th Belarusian player to play in the NHL.
