Nikita Zaitsev, potential future Maple Leaf, in action in Russia
Nikita Zaitsev was in a game today against one of the top teams in the KHL. What kind of a defenceman is he exactly? And how good?
CSKA Moscow took on SKA St. Petersburg today in a battle of top East Conference teams in the KHL. Moscow, first in their division and the league, has been on a tear, winning their last five. St. Petersburg, in fourth place, has been up and down, winning more than losing, but not in so dominating a fashion.
Why should you care?
Because the KHL is fun and fast and exciting, and the playoffs are less than a month away. Oh, and Nikita Zaitsev is still the top pairing D for CSKA, even if he is rumoured to be signing with the Leafs when the season is over.
