Playing career

Tolchinsky played in the 2008 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with the HC CSKA Moscow youth team.[1] Undrafted, Tolchinsky played with Krasnaya Armiya Moscow in the Minor Hockey League in Russia before opting to continue his junior career in North America with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the Ontario Hockey League.

On August 22, 2013, Tolchinsky was signed to a three-year entry-level contract with the Carolina Hurricanes.[2] He was returned to the Greyhounds of the OHL to continue his development in the 2013–14 season. At the conclusion of his second season with Sault Ste. Marie, Tolchinsky was signed to an amateur try-out contract with the Hurricanes AHL affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers to make his professional debut in a single game to end the year.

In the 2015–16 season, his first full professional year, Tolchinsky was recalled to make his NHL debut with the Carolina Hurricanes on March 31, 2016.[3]

In his final year under contract with the Hurricanes, Tolchinsky continued with the Checkers in the AHL for the 2017–18 season. Unable to add to his NHL experience, Tolchinsky appeared in 43 regular season games for 26 points. On May 7, 2018, with Tolchinsky not appearing in the post-season, the Checkers confirmed that he had left the team at his request and returned to Russia as an impending restricted free agent from the Hurricanes.[4]

On June 21, 2018, it was announced that Tolchinsky had returned to former club CSKA Moscow, on an initial try-out basis.[5]

After two seasons within CSKA Moscow, Tolchinsky left at the conclusion of his contract to sign a two-year contract with his second KHL club, Avangard Omsk, on 8 May 2020.[6]
