Best Players of the twenty-second Week
The Kontinental Hockey League’s commission has determined the best players of the Regular Season’s twenty-second week in four categories.
Last week, including Feb. 11 and 14’s games, the League’s teams played a total of 33 games, with 570 players (43 goalies, 190 defensemen, and 337 forwards) taking part in the action. The average goals-per-game was at 5.18.
— Best goalie for the second time in his career was Ivan Fedotov (Traktor), who won two games last week against Metallurg and CSKA, respectively. Fedotov faced 81 shots — or 40.5 per night — posting a 95.06% saves percentage and a goals-against average of 1.98. Fedotov was first awarded Best goalie honors in the 22nd week of the 2019-2020 season.
