Denis Arkhipov (born May 19 1979, in Kazan, USSR) is a professional hockey player for the Ak Bars.

Playing career

Arkhipov was selected 60th overall, in the 3rd round of the 1998 NHL Entry Draft. He was selected as the 2nd choice of the Nashville Predators.

He made his NHL debut on January 8, 2001 in a 1-2 loss against the Vancouver Canucks in Vancouver. During this game he notched his first NHL point when he got an assist on a Richard Lintner goal against Bob Essensa. Two days later he scored his first NHL goal in a 5-2 win at the Edmonton Oilers. He scored when he took a Scott Hartnell pass and got it past Tommy Salo. He also got an assist on a Marian Cisar goal to make this his first ever NHL multi-point game.

In the 2001-02 NHL season he played in all 82 games with a career high 42 points. He led the Predators in goals, game winning goals (6) and shooting percentage (16.9%). That year he centered the "Vowel Line" which also included, Vladimir Orszagh on right wing, and Martin Erat at left wing. They were called the "Vowel Line" because their last names were often difficult for many announcers to pronounce and all start with vowels.

Arkhipov played the 2004-05 NHL lockout season in the Russian Super League, and remained there for the 2005-06 season before signing as a free agent with the Chicago Blackhawks on July 6, 2006.

Records

Youngest player in Predator's franchise history to score 20 goals.
