Castron & Crew
Yegor Rykov is looking pretty solid in this game for SKA St. Petersburg. If he keeps playing this way, he might get more than 3rd/4th pairing minutes
The goalies should be very busy with that patchwork defense.

Rykov played 13.13 in 4-0 win over Severstal, the 5th TOI out of all SKA defensemen.
He's in the lineup every game?
Edit: Nope, looks like they have played 8 games, he has played 5. So he is there on the fringe, which for a 19 yr old is OK. Let's see if that changes as the season progresses.
Sidenote: Ilya off to a good start 4 goals 8 assists in 8 games.
Rykov registers 12:16 TOI and gets an assist for SKA today
Nice to see such young guy playing regular hockey in KHL and on top of that by a top 3 team in the league. It looks like a good pick up by the staff. Where is the second Russian that was drafted by Devils this year playing?
Last time I checked, Mikhail Maltsev is playing with SKA-1946 in the MHL.
Maltsev recently was called up to the VHL affiliate team SKA-Neva, played one game there already.
Edit: played another game tonight.
That's right! I was wondering that when I saw he wasn't in the lineup for SKA-1946.
It also looked like Maltsev was playing 3rd line LW of SKA-Neva
Thanks Caser!
