Review of 2017/2018. Salavat Yulaev: Finn experiment
KHL.ru continues its team-by-team review of the tenth season of the KHL Championship with a look back at the Salavat Yulaev Ufa’s 2017/2018 campaign. The Ufa club, led by the well-known Erkka Westerlund, managed to make it to the quarterfinals, where it was stopped by Traktor Chelyabinsk.
