Man of the Week: Stephane Da Costa
KHL.ru’s weekly column returns with Stephane Da Costa. The Frenchman is having another striking season in the KHL, and was just awarded Best Forward for the last week, scoring seven points in three games with a plus-8 rating, helping Avtomobilist celebrate three straight wins.
Big week for goalscorers
Hockey is all about getting pucks in net, and week 20 of the KHL was all about the players who do that. An all-time great reached a historic landmark, a prolific D-man achieved an unexpected ‘first’, imports hit rich veins of form and the league leader went goal crazy. One man stood up to the trend, setting a club record shut-out streak.
Imports return, forward closes on landmark
After the New Year break, two KHL teams announced high-profile imports were rejoining – while another placed a big-name forward on waivers. Elsewhere, we’re two away from seeing the first player to reach 1,000 points in the KHL, and it could happen at his hometown club on Thursday.
Man of the Week: Dylan Sikura
Happy returns
Whether rejoining previous clubs or coming back from suspension, a handful of forwards quickly found something to celebrate in familiar surroundings. Elsewhere, the search is on for another head coach at Sibir, a long-serving defenseman joins an elite group and the All-Star Game gets a new format.
Record falls after 17 years, millennium milestone achieved
Last week saw one of the oldest records in the KHL tumble amid a hot streak for a SKA defenseman. We saw a referee take charge of his 1,000th game, while a forward approaches 1,000 points. And the All-Star uniforms were unveiled in Yekaterinburg ahead of next year’s hockey spectacular.
