What a difference a year makes. Last year, Vitali Kravtsov was rightfully frustrated, as he was sent to the AHL while inferior forwards (and defensemen) were slotted in at wing. This year, after a full season in the KHL and a pandemic, Kravtsov is looking like he belongs. It’s a little amazing how that works, getting one more year of development for a 21 year old Vitali Kravtsov.
Pavel Buchnevich sets up Vitali Kravtsov for his first NHL goal… until Lindy Ruff and the Devils challenge the play.
