The young Russian prospect of the Canadiens, Alexander Zharovsky, continues to amaze everyone in the KHL.
In the last game between Salavat Yulaev Ufa and Admiral Vladivostok, this year’s second-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens recorded one goal and two assists in a 6-1 victory.
His goal, scored on the power play, made it 5-1 in the second period, confirming his team’s domination.
And for Zharovsky, this was clearly his best professional game so far.
“Habs prospect Alexander Zharovsky had 1 goal and 2 assists for 3 points today.
He is now PPG with 12 points in 12 games as a KHL rookie.”

Let’s not forget – he’s doing this in one of the best leagues in the world.
Alexander Zharovsky Impresses in the KHL and Moves Closer to NHL Level
With 12 points in 12 games this season – the young forward has an average of one point per game. Really impressive for an 18-year-old.
One of his teammates even told Hockey News Hub:
“Zhar… he is an artist!! And he is well surrounded and kid wants to learn any chance he gets. Awesome guy! Excited for him.”
I really like hearing that. I think those words show just how appreciated and respected he is by his peers.
In my opinion, the Montreal Canadiens and their fans can be thrilled to have landed such a promising prospect – and in the second round, no less.
I can’t wait to see the rest of his season!
