Two years ago, as CSKA advanced on its first ever Gagarin Cup win, Sergei Tolchinsky found himself out of favour with the Army Men. As the playoffs started, the former Carolina Hurricanes forward was serving with CSKA’s farm club in the VHL. Today, the 26-year-old delivered his revenge with a vital goal as his new club, Avangard, defeated the team where he learned the game and lifted the Gagarin Cup for the first time.
