Report: NHLer has changed his name!
Keystone Press Agency

You have certainly heard of Vadim Shipachyov, a prolific Russian forward who signed with the Vegas Golden Knights weeks before the expansion draft. Well, it looks like he wants to be called Vadim Shipachev now, according to SinBin.vegas.



The website also added that he might wear #87 next season. We already hear Sidney Crosby's diehard fans asking him to find another number!

The 30-year-old Russian has never played a single game in the NHL. He played for the Cherepovets Severstal for seven seasons before signing with the St. Petersburg SKA, with whom he played for four seasons. He recorded 26 goals and 50 assists for 76 points last year, and added 20 more in 17 playoff games.
