Alexander Zharovsky: third consecutive game with at least one point

Last season, Ivan Demidov’s performances in the KHL were being closely watched, and rightly so, given the young Russian’s talent and potential. This year, the KHL will again be closely watched, but for an entirely different player, Alexander Zharovsky.

The Habs’ second-round pick (34th overall) at the last draft had no guarantee of playing in the KHL this season, but with his current performances, he could be in it for the long haul: Zharovsky, who missed the first seven games of the season, has been putting in excellent performances with Ufa’s Salavat Yulaev since returning from injury.

In fact, this morning, in his third game of the season, Zharovsky picked up an assist in his club’s 3-1 win over Sochi HC, giving him four points in three games. Zharovsky now has at least one point in each of his first three career regular-season games in the KHL.

Let’s wait and see, but an 18-year-old producing in the KHL is rare as pope m*rde.

If the trend continues, certainly something to keep an eye on. https://t.co/oAI8qgwOSB –Nicolas Cloutier (@NCloutierTVA) October 5, 2025

It’s obviously a small sample, but so far, it’s still impressive what the Habs prospect is achieving at 18 in the KHL, the second-best league in the world.

Zharovsky has already established himself as one of his team’s top players, as evidenced by his ice time, which so far varies between 14 and 18 minutes. He has an important role to play, and it’s clear that he will help Salavat Yulaev climb back up the standings, as the team is currently last in its conference with eight points from ten games.

Zharovsky is playing inspired hockey at the moment, and he’s showing great confidence on the ice, while he doesn’t seem in any way overwhelmed by the level of play in the KHL, quite the opposite. I remind you that this is still a small sample, and that we shouldn’t panic just yet, but if the Habs prospect maintains this production and pace, it will be VERY interesting for the future.

At 18, it’s only prodigies like Mishkov and Demidov who are capable of producing in the KHL. Let’s see if Zharovsky can follow in his footsteps.
