The center player made a very nice forecheck in the offensive zone before stealing the puck from his opponent. He then made a nice pass to his teammate Sergei Tolchinsky who completed the maneuver with a powerful one-timer shot.
His team also signed a 2-1 victory in the curtain raiser of this regular season in the KHL.
The 29-year-old was released by the Arizona Coyotes after being arrested in Scottsdale in early July. The third player selected in the 2012 draft issued death threats against a police officer and his family. He had just signed a new contract with the “Yotes”.
At the end of his 11 seasons in the NHL, Galchenyuk has banked 354 points, including 146 goals in 554 games.
