One goal, three points: another big game from Alexander Zharovsky

In a 6-1 win for his club today, he scored and dished out two assists in 16 minutes of playing time. He also spent nearly three minutes on the ice on the powerplay.

In short, he has his coach’s confidence.

Zharovsky, who has won four of his nine face-offs, now has 12 points in as many games since the start of his regular season, since his return from injury.

He has five goals and seven assists, and is rolling along at a rate of one point per game. Remember: he’s playing in the KHL at the age of 18.

Obviously, that means he’s working the right way. Otherwise, you’d think he wouldn’t necessarily be getting that kind of playing time at his age.

The fact that he’s under contract in Russia until the summer of 2027 should help, as should the fact that the Habs aren’t necessarily trying everything they can to bring him to Montreal as quickly as possible.

We’ll see if he can keep up his good work over the coming months. Because that’s the challenge facing young players: to achieve maximum consistency.

So, for the time being, we can only say that things are going well for Zharovsky, who is brimming with talent.
