Playing career

Prior to joining Providence College, Gilmour played in the United States Hockey League for the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders and Gilmour Academy. [1] It was while he was playing for the Roughriders that Gilmour committed to play NCAA Division 1 hockey for Providence College. [2]

Gilmour was drafted 198th overall in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft by the Calgary Flames. The Flames did not offer him a contract and he continued playing for Providence College. [3]

On August 18, 2016, Gilmour signed a two-year, $1.85 million entry-level contract with the New York Rangers. [4] Gilmour spent the first half of the season in the AHL, and was named to the 2018 AHL all-star game. He made his NHL debut in a 4–3 win over the Flames on February 9, 2018. [5] [6] Gilmour recorded his first NHL goal on February 13, 2018, in a 3–2 loss to the Minnesota Wild. [7] Gilmour became the first New York Rangers rookie defenseman to score an overtime goal when he scored a goal 1:22 into overtime on February 28, 2018, against the Vancouver Canucks. [8] [9]

While attending the Rangers training camp, Gilmour was reassigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack to begin the 2018–19 season. [10] During the season, Gilmour set a Wolf Pack franchise record for goals by a defenseman in a season with 20, and was named an AHL All-star for the second consecutive season.

On July 1, 2019, Gilmour left the Rangers as a free agent to sign a one-year, one-way $700,000 contract with the Buffalo Sabres. [11] He began the 2019–20 season, with the Sabres as a healthy scratch before he was assigned on a conditioning stint to AHL affiliate, the Rochester Americans. He appeared in 4 games with the Sabres, going scoreless.

As a free agent from the Sabres, and with the 2020–21 North American season delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Gilmour belatedly signed a contract abroad in agreeing to a one-year deal with Russian club, HC CSKA Moscow of the KHL, on December 14, 2020. [12]

Following two seasons with CSKA, culminating in capturing the Gagarin Cup, Gilmour left as a free agent and was signed to a two-year contract to continue in the KHL with Belarusian club, HC Dinamo Minsk, on July 24, 2022. [13]

Following one season with Dinamo, Gilmour was released from his contract and moved to Germany in signing a two-year contract with Adler Mannheim of the DEL, on April 21, 2023. [14]
