After first coming to North America in 2018 to play in the USHL, and the the US College Hockey system, Firstov started with the Iowa Wild of the AHL. However, from 2022 to 2024, he returned home to Russia to play with Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo of the KHL. There's a very good chance Firstov will return to the team now.
