Alexander Zharovsky had a great game, reaching the 40-point mark in the KHL with a multipoint effort. He scored a goal and an assist versus the Shanghai Dragons, putting an end to an eight-game scoreless streak.
Speaking of talented prospects, Bryce Pickford scored his 44th goal of the year, which means he’s now tied with Cameron Schmidt for the league lead. There’s no doubt about it, Pickford is enjoying one of the most encouraging D+1 seasons in recent memory.
