Kaspars Daugaviņš (born May 18, 1988) is a Latvian professional ice hockey player currently playing for Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod of the Kontinental Hockey League. Daugaviņš has played professionally in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Ottawa Senators and Boston Bruins. He was selected by the Senators in the third round, 91st overall, in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.
After being drafted by the Ottawa Senators at the 2006 NHL Entry Draft, Daugaviņš moved from Latvia, where he spent the 2005–06 season with HK Riga 2000 of the LHL, and joined the Toronto St. Michael's Majors of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) after he was drafted with the third overall pick in the 2006 CHL Import Draft.
In his first season with the Majors in 2006–07, Daugaviņš scored 18 goals and 60 points in 61 games, finishing second in team scoring. He scored his first OHL goal against Andrew Perugini of the Barrie Colts in his first OHL game. The Majors struggled as a team, however, and failed to qualify for the post-season.
Before the 2007–08 season, the Majors relocated to Mississauga, Ontario, and were renamed the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors. Daugaviņš had a breakout season, leading Mississauga with 40 goals and 74 points, helping the club reach the playoffs. In four playoff games, Daugaviņš had two goals and three points as Mississauga were ultimately swept by the Niagara IceDogs in the first round.
