Playing career

Sokolov was selected in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) import draft by the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles with the 35th overall pick. [1] After coming over to Canada from Russia for the 2017–18 season his teammate, Drake Batherson, helped get him accustomed to North American life. [2] He played three seasons in the QMJHL with the Screaming Eagles, scoring 97 goals and 191 points in 184 games. [3]

He was passed over in two National Hockey League (NHL) entry drafts before being selected by the Ottawa Senators in the second round, 61st overall in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. [3] Before his selection by the Senators, Sokolov had attended the development camps of the Columbus Blue Jackets and Toronto Maple Leafs. [4] On November 20, 2020, the Senators signed Sokolov to a three-year entry-level contract. [5] After attending his first training camp, Sokolov was assigned to Ottawa's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Belleville Senators. [6] He was recalled by the Senators on November 8, 2021 [7] and played in his first NHL game on November 9, 2021, against the Boston Bruins. [8] He played the majority of the 2022–23 season with Belleville, scoring 21 goals and 59 points in 70 games. [9] He represented Belleville at the 2023 AHL All-Star Classic. [10] He was recalled late in the NHL season and played in five games with Ottawa. [9] On April 8, 2023, Sokolov scored his first career NHL goal against the Tampa Bay Lightning in a 7-4 win for Ottawa. [11]

Sokolov re-signed with Ottawa on September 19, 2023, to a one-year, two-way contract. [9] He failed to make Ottawa's team out of training camp and was placed on waivers. He went unclaimed and was assigned to Belleville to start the 2023–24 season. [12]

After playing his fourth season with the Senators organization, Sokolov was traded to the Utah Hockey Club in exchange for winger Jan Jeník. [13]
