Ivan Miroshnichenko’s first post-draft season ends after Omsk Hawks lose in MHL playoffs final

Ivan Miroshnichenko was selected 20th overall by the Washington Capitals in the first round of the 2022 NHL Draft. On Tuesday, the 19-year-old Russian sniper finished his first season since the draft when his Omsk Hawks team fell just short of winning the Russian junior league (MHL) final.
