Yegor Alexandrovich Sharangovich (, ; born June 6, 1998) is a professional ice hockey forward from Belarus currently playing for the Calgary Flames in the National Hockey League (NHL). Selected 141st overall by the New Jersey Devils during the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, he made his NHL debut in 2020. Prior to joining the Devils, Sharangovich spent two seasons competing with HC Dinamo Minsk in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) and also played two seasons in the American Hockey League. On the international stage, he has represented Belarus at both junior and senior levels, participating in four Ice Hockey World Championships.
Early development
Sharangovich honed his skills in Belarus playing for Dinamo-Raubichi Minsk at the under-20 level, also participating in the second-tier Vysshaya Liga, which is linked to the premier Belarusian club HC Dinamo Minsk of the KHL. His talent drew attention from North America when he was picked 252nd overall by the Youngstown Phantoms in the 2017 USHL Entry Draft.
Opting to remain in Belarus, he made his professional debut with Dinamo Minsk during the 2017–18 KHL season, appearing in 47 games as a rookie and tallying 4 goals and a total of 12 points. Although previously passed over in earlier drafts, Sharangovich was eventually selected by the Devils in the fifth round, 141st overall, of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.
Transition to North America and pandemic period
Following the draft, Sharangovich inked a three-year entry-level deal with New Jersey on July 19, 2018. After attending training camp, he was assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Binghamton Devils, for the 2018–19 campaign. He netted his first professional goal in North America on October 10, 2018, against the Hartford Wolf Pack, concluding the season with eight goals and five assists over 36 games while contributing effectively on the penalty kill.
Due to delays in the 2020–21 NHL season caused by COVID-19, Sharangovich returned to Dinamo Minsk on loan from New Jersey as of July 16, 2020, to maintain competitive play until NHL activities resumed. Upon his return to New Jersey, he scored his inaugural NHL goal on January 16, 2021—an overtime winner against the Boston Bruins.
During the 2021 season, he achieved his first NHL hat trick on April 2, 2022, facing off against the Florida Panthers.
At the conclusion of his entry-level contract and as a restricted free agent, Sharangovich was traded alongside a third-round pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft to the Calgary Flames in exchange for Tyler Toffoli on June 27, 2023. The Flames promptly secured him with a two-year contract extension worth $6.2 million. Subsequently, on July 1, 2024, Calgary locked him into a long-term agreement extending five years with a total value of $28.75 million.
International play
Sharangovich has donned the jersey of the Belarusian national team at both junior and senior tiers and currently holds captaincy. His international resume includes participation in the 2017 IIHF World Championship and 2018 IIHF World Championship.
