Two-time Stanley Cup champion Pavel Datsyuk and former Red Wings assistant coach Bill Peters are reunited in the Kontinental Hockey League this year.
Datsyuk, who will turn 42 later this month, signed a one-year deal on Friday with the Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg of the KHL. No contract details were disclosed.
"He (Datsyuk) feels good, has no major injuries and feels he can help out his team," Datsyuk's agent Dan Milstein said.
Datsyuk had five goals and 17 assists in 43 games for Yekaterinburg last year, ending speculation that he might return to Detroit after spending 14 years with the Red Wings.
