Ivan Prosvetov

BIOGRAPHY

Ivan Prosvetov was born March 5, 1999, in Stupino, Russia. He is a goaltend in the NHL.

Following the 2018–19 season, Prosvetov signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Coyotes on 1 July 2019. After attending the Coyotes training camp, he was assigned to the Coyotes' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Tucson Roadrunners, for the 2019–20 season. In his first four games for the Roadrunners, he maintained a 3–1–0 record with a 1.98 goals against average (GAA) and .944 save percentage (SV%). On 8 November, Prosvetov was assigned to the Coyotes' ECHL affiliate, the Rapid City Rush. He appeared in five games for the Rush, posting a 4–1–0–0 record with his first professional shutout and 2.40 GAA and .930 SV%, before returning to the AHL. Upon rejoining the AHL, Prosvetov continued his winning streak and posted a 7–1–0 record with a 1.97 GAA and .944 SV% through eight AHL games. By late December, Prosvetov led the league with 1.88 GAA and .946 SV% while touting a 9–1–0 record. He earned his first AHL shutout on 22 December to help the Roadrunners extend their longest winning streak in franchise history to eight games. In recognition of his efforts, Prosvetov earned his first NHL call-up on 5 January. At the time, he had improved to an 11–3–0 record with an 2.38 GAA and .931 SV%. Although he was called up numerous times in January, he did not make his NHL debut during these callups. When the AHL was paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Roadrunners were holding onto first place in the Pacific Division.

Prosvetov made his NHL debut on 31 March 2021 in relief for Adin Hill who had surrendered four goals on 10 shots in the first period. Prosvetov made 23 saves in 53:38 minutes of action as the Coyotes fell 9–3 to the Colorado Avalanche. He played three games for the Coyotes during the 2021–22 season, maintaining a 4.22 GAA and an .875 SV%. On 24 May 2022, Prosvetov signed a one-year contract extension to remain with the Coyotes organization.

In the first year of his new contract, Prosvetov returned to the Roadrunners to start the 2022–23 season. He maintained a 2–0–0 record to help the Roadrunners yield a 3–1–0–0 record start to the season. Despite his hot start, Prosvetov struggled from November to January and gave up four or more goals nine times of 16 starts. However, he began to improve in mid-January and by February, Prosvetov had a 15–13–2 record with a .898 SV% and 3.14 GAA. By early March, Prosvetov had a career-high 16 wins and an active five-game unbeaten streak. On 9 March, Prosvetov was recalled to the NHL level and he made 39 saves that night against the Nashville Predators to earn his first NHL win.

After participating in training camp and pre-season, Prosvetov was placed on waivers approaching the 2023–24 season. He was claimed the following day by the Colorado Avalanche on 9 October 2023, joining the club as a cover for injured backup goaltender Pavel Francouz.
