Daniil Chayka Stats & Bio | Golden Knights Defenseman

About Daniil Chayka

Daniil Chayka is a promising defenseman for the Vegas Golden Knights, wearing #5 on his jersey. Born in Moscow, Russia in October 2002, Chayka has brought his European hockey background to the NHL stage. At 6'3" and 187 pounds, he possesses the ideal frame for a modern blueliner, combining reach and mobility. Unlike many NHL players, Chayka didn't follow the traditional North American college route, instead developing his skills through Russia's elite hockey programs before making the jump to North America. His journey represents the increasingly global nature of hockey talent acquisition. Chayka's playing style reflects his physical attributes—a defenseman who can cover significant ice with his wingspan while demonstrating the skating ability needed in today's fast-paced NHL. As one of the younger Russian defensemen in the league, he embodies the Golden Knights' commitment to developing international talent.
