# Dmytro Timashov

Dmytro "Dima" Timashov (Ukrainian: Дмитро Тимашов; born 1 October 1996) is a Ukrainian-born Swedish professional ice hockey forward who currently plays for HC Sochi in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).

## Playing career

Timashov made his Swedish Hockey League (SHL) debut playing with Modo Hockey during the 2013–14 SHL season. Following this season, Timashov left Sweden to join the Quebec Remparts.
On 27 June 2015, during the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, Timashov was selected in the fifth round, 125th overall, by the Toronto Maple Leafs.
On 6 January 2016, Timashov was traded to the Shawinigan Cataractes. The trade came after weeks of speculation; it was previously reported Timashov would be on the move to the Moncton Wildcats, but he had refused to waive his no-movement clause to be sent to the club. The same day, rumors of a Shawinigan transaction started to appear.
Timashov joined the Toronto Maple Leafs' AHL affiliate the Toronto Marlies for the 2016–17 season and spent three years developing with the team. During the 2019–20 season, Timashov won a spot on the Maple Leafs NHL roster to start the season, and made his debut in the first game of the season against the Ottawa Senators, recording one assist. Used in a bottom-six forward role, Timashov recorded four goals and five assists in 39 games for the Maple Leafs.
On 23 February 2020, Timashov was placed on waivers by the Maple Leafs and was claimed by the Detroit Red Wings the next day. He made five appearances with the Red Wings, going scoreless, before the season was abruptly suspended and ended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As an unsigned restricted free agent with the Red Wings, on 11 December 2020, Timashov's rights were traded to the New York Islanders in exchange for future considerations. On 20 September 2021, Timashov was re-signed to a one-year contract by the Islanders. On 20 October, Timashov signed a two-year contract with Brynäs IF of the SHL after mutually terminating his contract with the Islanders the previous day.
On 21 October 2023, Timashov signed a two-month contract with HC Ajoie of the Swiss National League (NL).
On 4 July 2024, Timashov's KHL rights were traded from SKA St. Petersburg to HC Sochi in a multi-player trade. Immediately after, Timashov signed a one-year contract with Sochi.

## International play

Timashov was selected to represent Sweden junior team at the 2016 World Junior Championships. Timashov excelled at the tournament, recording seven points in seven games played, and helped Sweden to a fourth-place finish.

## Personal life

Timashov was born in Ukraine. His parents divorced when he was one year old, and at the age of seven he moved with his mother to Sollentuna, a suburb of Stockholm, in Sweden. His mother remarried there, and it was Timashov's stepfather who introduced him to hockey, buying him a pair of skates for his eighth birthday. Timashov speaks Swedish, Russian, English, Ukrainian and some French.
