Canadian forward Brendan Perlini and Spartak Moscow have agreed to terminate the contract at the player's initiative, with the club retaining the rights to the hockey player in the KHL. Perlini joined the team shortly before the deadline (December 10, 2024) and played only four games, notching one assist and a -2 rating.
According to the player himself, the adjustment to Russia and the KHL was more difficult than he expected. Perlini noted the high level of the league and admitted that it can be difficult for foreigners to play right away. He asked the club to allow him to return home and expressed his gratitude for their understanding and support.
Brendan Perlini was born in Guildford, England, on April 27, 1996. He played for the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds and Belle Isle Tire at the junior level before joining the Barrie Colts in 2012, where he began playing in the Ontario Hockey League. Since 2013, he has played for the Niagara IceDogs and was recognized for his outstanding play by participating in the 2014 CHL Top Prospects Game. At the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, Perlini received a 12th pick in the first round, which was Arizona Coyotes, with whom he soon signed a three-year contract.
Perlini started the 2016/17 season in the Tucson Roadrunners club, where he became the team's leader in terms of goals and was named Rookie of the Month in November. In December 2016, he made his NHL debut with the Coyotes and scored his first goal shortly after. In November 2018, he was sold to the Chicago Blackhawks, where he extended his contract for the 2019/20 season, but later requested a transfer and joined the Detroit Red Wings.
In January 2021, he joined the Swiss club Ambri-Piotta, and in 2021 he returned to North America, signing a contract with the Edmonton Oilers. In the 2022/23 season, he played for the Chicago Wolves in the AHL. In the summer of 2023, he joined the Carolina Hurricanes training camp and later signed a contract with the Charlotte Checkers.
