No. 1 won’t surprise you.
We wrap up our three-part series on Team Russia’s roster tomorrow ahead of the World Cup of Hockey, so today I’m running through the three best Russian players to wear teal. Note that I’m only looking at the player’s time while with the team — so this is looking at the Russians whose careers in teal were most impressive.
Let’s hit the list.
3. Alexander Korolyuk (1997-2004)
The Russian leader in games played for the Sharks (296), Korolyuk also scored the most points (142) and tops the list in power-play goals (13).
