Playing career
Vorobyev made his Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) debut playing with Salavat Yulaev Ufa during the 2015–16 KHL season.[1]
On 27 April 2017 Vorobyev signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Philadelphia Flyers.[2] Following the Flyers training camp prior to the 2017–18 season, Vorobyov was assigned to the Flyers American Hockey League affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.[3]
After playing one season with the Phantoms, Vorobyev made the Flyers 2018–19 season opening night roster out of training camp.[4] He made his NHL debut on 4 October 2018, where he earned one assist in a 5–2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights.[5] Vorobyev recorded his first career NHL goal in 5–2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on 7 October 2018. During the second period Avalanche's goalie, Semyon Varlamov, was crashed into by a teammate, allowing Vorobyev to shoot the puck into the empty net and tie the game 2–2.[6]
Vorobyev played three seasons within the Flyers organization before leaving as an impending restricted free agent to return to his original Russian club, Salavat Yulaev Ufa of the KHL. He agreed to a three-year contract starting in 2020–21 on 30 June 2020.[7]
