Gritsyuk jokes teammate Silaev is mistaken for his bodyguard
New Jersey forward Arseny Gritsyuk joked that diners take 201 cm defenceman Anton Silaev, 20, for his bodyguard while he settles in with the Devils.
New Jersey forward Arseny Gritsyuk says his team-mate Anton Silaev is big enough that strangers take him for a bodyguard.
Silaev is 20 and stands 201 cm. New Jersey took the defenceman 10th overall in the 2024 NHL Draft, and this summer he left Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod to sign a three-year entry-level contract with the Devils. Gritsyuk is helping him settle in North America and adapt to his new side.
