Canadiens' Alexander Zharovsky: Trending up in KHL
Rotowire
Zharovsky has earned 10 points over his last nine games for the KHL's Salavat Yulaev Ufa.
Zharovsky had a modest start to the season, but he's turned up the offense. He's now at 18 points (six goals, 12 assists) through 23 contests on the year. It's still a ways off, but the Canadiens prospect may be able to skip the AHL once he comes to North America, given his success in the KHL over the last two seasons.

Canadiens' Alexander Zharovsky: Off to decent start in KHL season
Rotowire
Zharovsky has two goals and six assists over his first 14 games of the season for the KHL's Salavat Yulaev Ufa.
Zharovsky was a little sharper last year with 42 points over 59 regular-season games, but this isn't a bad start. The Canadiens prospect is still just 19 years old, so playing regularly in the KHL for the second year running is a strong accomplishment. He's in the last year of his contract, so it's possible he'll be in North America for 2027-28.
