Zachary Senyshyn (born March 30, 1997) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward currently playing for the Schwenninger Wild Wings in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL). He was chosen 15th overall by the Boston Bruins in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. Originating from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Senyshyn has built his career competing in both North American and European leagues.
Playing career
During the 2014–15 OHL season, Senyshyn tallied 45 points over 65 games with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. Leading up to the 2015 draft, the NHL Central Scouting Bureau placed him 38th among North American skaters. Although forecasts predicted a selection in the mid-second round, the Boston Bruins chose him 15th overall using a pick obtained through the Dougie Hamilton trade.
In November 2015, Senyshyn inked a three-year entry-level deal with Boston and later joined their AHL affiliate, the Providence Bruins, for the 2017 postseason. After being released from Bruins training camp, he spent most of the 2017–18 season playing in Providence. Senyshyn made his NHL debut on April 4, 2019, netting an empty-net goal in a 3–0 victory over the Minnesota Wild before returning to Providence.
On March 21, 2022, he was traded to the Ottawa Senators along with a fifth-round draft pick in exchange for Josh Brown and a conditional seventh-round pick. He was recalled from the AHL's Belleville Senators in April 2022 and appeared briefly with Ottawa before being reassigned.
As a free agent, Senyshyn accepted a professional tryout with the New Jersey Devils in September 2022 but did not secure a spot on their roster. Subsequently, he signed a one-year contract with the AHL's Utica Comets in October 2022. Over the course of the 2022–23 season, he accumulated six goals and nine points across 37 games before being traded to the Chicago Wolves in February 2023.
In July 2023, Senyshyn embarked on his first European contract by joining German DEL team Schwenninger Wild Wings, representing a deliberate step to broaden his professional experience internationally.
