Mikhail Grigorevich Maltsev (; born 12 March 1998) is a Russian ice hockey forward currently playing for HC Spartak Moscow in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). He was chosen 102nd overall in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft by the New Jersey Devils and has competed professionally for both the Devils and SKA Saint Petersburg.
KHL
Maltsev started his hockey journey with the under-17 squad of SKA Saint Petersburg in 2014, advancing through their developmental teams, including SKA-1946 in the MHL and SKA-Neva in the VHL. He made his KHL debut with SKA Saint Petersburg during the 2017–18 season, playing a role in securing the Continental Cup.
NHL
After being picked 102nd overall by the New Jersey Devils in 2016, Maltsev inked a three-year entry-level contract with them in May 2019. He appeared in his first NHL game on 31 January 2021 and netted his inaugural NHL goal on 16 February 2021.
On 15 July 2021, Maltsev was traded to the Colorado Avalanche along with a second-round draft pick in exchange for Ryan Graves. Following two seasons with Colorado, he agreed to a one-year, two-way deal with the Los Angeles Kings on 1 July 2023. Post training camp, he was assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Ontario Reign, where he ranked as one of the leading scorers early in the 2023–24 campaign.
Unable to earn a promotion back to the NHL, Maltsev was loaned to KHL's HC Spartak Moscow on 11 December 2023. He concluded that season tallying 11 points across 16 games and contributed to Spartak’s advance to the Gagarin Cup Semi-finals.
Upon completion of his contract with the Kings, Maltsev secured a two-year contract extension with Spartak Moscow on 19 June 2024.
International play
Maltsev represented Russia at the 2018 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship as part of the Russian national junior team.
