Yegor Alexandrovich Rykov (; born 14 April 1997) is a professional Russian ice hockey defenceman currently signed with HC Lada Togliatti in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).

Playing career

Selected 132nd overall by the New Jersey Devils during the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, Rykov secured a contract extension with SKA Saint Petersburg that lasted until April 2019. On 22 February 2018, the Devils transferred his NHL rights along with a 2018 second-round pick to the New York Rangers in exchange for forward Michael Grabner. After experiencing limited playing time with SKA during the 2018–19 campaign, he was traded to HC Sochi. Subsequently, on 20 May 2019, Rykov agreed to an entry-level deal with the Rangers.

During the 2019–20 season, Rykov was assigned to Hartford Wolf Pack, the Rangers' AHL affiliate, where he participated in 27 games and tallied 2 goals and 11 points before the season was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the postponement of the 2020–21 North American season, he returned to Russia on loan by signing a one-year contract with HC CSKA Moscow on 7 August 2020.

International play

Rykov represented Russia at the 2016 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, playing a role in securing the silver medal for his team.
