Alexander Zharovsky: a (superb) first goal in his first regular KHL game

Zharovsky first tried a nice zone entry in possession of the puck, before going to the side of the net to receive a nice pass and finish with a precise shot.

It’s a perfect sequence to see the different strengths of the Habs’ prospect. Add to that the fact that Zharovsky also picked up an assist later in the game, giving him two points on two goals, as Ufa lost 5-2 to Avangard.

The young Russian wasted no time in making his mark and performing well in his return to the game, which is excellent news for the future.

We know how youngsters don’t always get the best ice time, as we saw with Ivan Demidov last season. The difference, however, is that Zharovsky’s current team is a bottom team, at least at the start of the season, with Ufa’s Salavat Yulaev last in the East with one win in seven games (four points).

This could help Zharovsky, who might be able to play more if his team doesn’t fight for the playoffs, as was the case for SKA St. Petersburg last season with Demidov. Zharovsky’s season will be very interesting to follow. He had an excellent first game, with 15:24 of ice time.
