Arthur Kaliyev
Arthur Kaliyev (Russian: Артур Калиев; born June 26, 2001) is an Uzbekistan-born American professional ice hockey forward for the Belleville Senators in the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected by the Los Angeles Kings in the second round, 33rd overall, of the 2019 NHL entry draft. He also played for the New York Rangers.
Kaliyev was born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, but his family moved to Staten Island, New York when he was two years old and later moved to Michigan at age 13. He represents the United States in international competition. His younger sister Elvina Kalieva, who was born in the United States, is a professional tennis player.
Kaliyev played junior hockey with Detroit Compuware U16. He was selected by the Hamilton Bulldogs of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) in the second round, 26th overall, of the 2017 OHL Priority Draft. As a rookie in 2017–18, Kaliyev scored 31 goals, 17 assists for 48 points in 68 regular season games, setting new franchise records for goals and points by a rookie. The Bulldogs advanced to the league championship and knocked off the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds to win the J. Ross Robertson Cup. In 21 playoff games, Kaliyev added three goals and 11 points. As league champions, the Bulldogs were one of four teams invited to take part in the 2018 Memorial Cup, a round-robin tournament that pitted the three league champions from across the Canadian Hockey League (CHL), plus one host team, against each other. Hamilton was eliminated from contention in the semifinal by the Regina Pats and finished third in the tournament.
He followed that with 51 goals and 102 points for the Bulldogs in 2018–19, the youngest player in the OHL to score more than 40 goals that season and the first Bulldog to record 50 goals or 100 points. He was selected to play in the 2019 Sherwin-Williams CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game. The Bulldogs qualified for the playoffs but were eliminated in the first round by the Ottawa 67's. In four playoff games, he tallied one goal and two points. In his final season with Hamilton in 2019–20, he recorded 44 goals and 98 points in 57 games before the season was cancelled on March 18, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite his goal-scoring prowess, he was regarded as inconsistent, a weak skater, and a weak defender before the National Hockey League (NHL)'s 2019 entry draft. Kaliyev was subsequently selected in the second round with the 33rd overall pick by the Los Angeles Kings. On June 3, 2020, Kaliyev was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract by the Kings. He began the pandemic-shortened 2020–21 season with the Kings' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Ontario Reign. He spent the majority of the season with the Reign, marking 14 goals and 31 points in 40 games. He was recalled by the Kings and made his NHL debut on February 2, 2021, in a 3–1 loss against the Anaheim Ducks and scored his first goal. He was returned to the Reign and the team qualified for the abbreviated 2021 Calder Cup playoffs. Ontario was eliminated in the opening round by the Colorado Eagles. Kaliyev went scoreless in the playoffs.
Kaliyev opened the 2021–22 season on the Kings roster. In his first NHL full season, he played primarily on the fourth line alongside Blake Lizotte and Brendan Lemieux. In 80 games he scored 14 goals and 27 points in the regular season. The team finished third in the Pacific Division, and faced the Edmonton Oilers in the first round, renewing their rivalry. The best-of-seven game series went all the way, decided in the final game, as the Kings were defeated by the Oilers. In the seven games, Kaliyev went scoreless. In the 2022–23 season, he remained on the fourth line, but saw time on the team's power play alongside Viktor Arvidsson. He missed time in December with a lower body injury after blocking a shot. He finished the season with 13 goals and 28 points in 56 games. The Kings finished third in the division again and faced the Oilers in the first round for the second consecutive season. The Oilers eliminated the Kings, with Kaliyev appearing two of the playoff games, going scoreless.
Entering the 2023–24 season, he was suspended by the NHL for two pre-season exhibition games and two regular season games after an illegal hit (kneeing) on Chase De Leo of the Anaheim Ducks in a preseason game. He started off the season well, but in the second half, his play cratered and coach Todd McLellan began to scratch him from the lineup. After McLellan was fired, new coach Jim Hiller continued scratching him in favor of a seventh defenseman, with Kaliyev playing just six games after the March trade deadline and not at all in the Kings' postseason. He ended the season with seven goals and 15 points in 51 games. On September 18, 2024, the Kings re-signed Kaliyev to a one-year contract.
During the 2024–25 preseason, on the second day of training camp on September 22, Kaliyev suffered a broken clavicle. He was out of the lineup for the remainder of training camp and the regular season until December. Upon his return from the injury, he was assigned to the AHL on a conditioning loan, joining the Reign on December 10. He appeared in five games for the Reign, scoring one goal and two points. After his conditioning loan ended, he was placed on waivers on January 5, 2025, with the intent of assigning him to the Reign.
