Yegor Rykov continues to be a solid presence on the CSKA blue line. CSKA is a good team, and perhaps a favorite to win the Gagarin Cup. He’s not putting up flashy numbers, but that was never his style anyway.
Right next door, Libor Hajek was again a healthy scratch in Extraliga. I’m unsure if this is due to his play, or his imminent recall to the US when the NHL gets camp underway. He, like Adam Huska in Slovakia, hasn’t received much playing time.
