It appears that Jake Virtanen has found his new home away from the Vancouver Canucks.

On Saturday morning, it was announced that Virtanen had landed a new deal with HC Lokomotiv of the KHL.

Virtanen will be joining American forward Reid Boucher, who split time between Vancouver and Utica between 2017 and 2020, as well as fellow Canadian and netminder Pasquale Edward, as the third North American-born player on the roster.
