ollie Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Holy crap! Poor guy. Sergei Zholtok, a centre who finished the 2003-2004 NHL season with the Nashville Predators, died Wednesday in Latvia. He was 31. A third-round pick of the Boston Bruins in 1992, Zholtok played 588 NHL games for six teams, scoring 111 goals and 258 points. Zholtok was playing for Riga in Latvia this year and collapsed in the team's dressing room before a game in Belarus. Zholtok was forced to the sidelines a couple of times last year with mysterious health ailments that included dizziness and fatigue. RDS is reporting that he suffered from cardiac arrhythmia. Zholtok had his greatest success with the Minnesota Wild, scoring a career-high 42 points in 2002-2003, then following up with 13 points in 18 playoff games as the Wild made an improbable run to the Western Conference Finals.. He also played for Ottawa, Montreal and Edmonton in the NHL. Sergei Zholtok, dead at 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
