Playing career

Russell played for the youth teams of the Gentofte Stars in his native Denmark and saw the ice in Denmark's second-tier league before moving to Sweden in 2009. He joined the youth ranks of Linköping HC, where he developed his game until 2013. Russell then headed over the pond and spent the 2013–14 season with the Waterloo Black Hawks of the United States Hockey League (USHL). Making 67 appearances for the Black Hawks, he collected 34 goals and 23 assists, helping the Waterloo side win the Anderson Cup and reaching the Clark Cup Championship ceries.[1]

From 2014 to 2016, Russell attended St. Cloud State University. He made the 2015 All-NCHC Rookie Team[2] and in his sophomore year, helped the Huskies capture the National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) title, tallying 20 goals and 21 assists in 41 contests on the season.[3]

On 9 May 2016, Russell signed a two-year, entry-level deal with the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL).[4] Russell's NHL debut came on 17 November 2018, for the Oilers against the Calgary Flames. Russell's total ice time was 8 minutes and 37 seconds, and he recorded two hits.[5] He became the 12th Danish player to play in the NHL.

Following his fifth season within the Oilers organization in 2020–21, Russell left as a free agent. Leaving North America, Russell signed a two-year contract with former Swedish junior club Linköping HC of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) on 1 August 2021.[6]
