This is great to see! I've never been very high on Ellis due to his size, but hopefully he proves me wrong (Binnington sure did).

 

[Frenzy31]

Kostin picked up a goal yesterday. Glad he is playing in the KHl.

He has an assist too.Get first line minutes

Yeah, seems he finally gotten in to shape. As said, he's also playing on the 1st line now, although I don't know if that's due to injuries.

i think he would have been playing there all year, except they may have been expecting him to return to the US.

I checked his TOI for Omsk and for the 16 players who have played at least 20 or more games, he is averaging 11:51 which makes him the 4th lowest in ice time by only 40 seconds. Considering that, plus his point totals, I'm not too disappointed in his production. Sure, I would've liked for him to be scoring at a higher clip, but he seems to project as a prototypical power forward with good hands and a good shot. I'm just hoping that his quick decision making can develop quickly because I know that seemed to be an issue for him when he came over.

I would be more interested in see his splits. My guess is when they move him off the 4th line his ice time went up quite a bit. I would like to see his stats month to month. It always allows for a better understanding of what is going on with a player.

Idk when he started playing on the first line, but his TOI has been hovering around 11:30 for the better part of a few weeks. I could start to jump with more ice now, but I believe he has been limited for most of the season

Last time his TOI was around that value was on the 15th of January.

Nice I just checked that out too. Since he's been given consistent and quality minutes, he has 11 points in 10 games (3 points today, 2g, 1a).
His current stat line for those 10 games are 4g-7a, averaging over 13 min per game and has 33+ hits. Seems to be pretty engaged, getting the ice time, and gettin rewarded for it. Pretty happy with how he has been playing so hopefully he can keep it up

 

[Domme90]

2 goals 1 assist today.Plays very hard.Has 4 penalty minutes.

Is he getting any PP time or just 5 on 5.

Count me in if someone can find this (game logs and/or splits). Even finding Kostin's ATOI is difficult. Seeing an average of ~11 mins is encouraging because it was down below 8 mins for a while.

Gotta love not speaking the language, I'd assume the stats we want would be easier to locate if we spoke Russian to look at Russian outlets.

 

[tfriede2]

8 points in his last 3 games. Impressive.

Well the KHL website lists his TOI and game logs. I don’t know if there are advanced metrics, but just a quick calculation should find the average TOI. The website, at least what I found, is in English.

When I checked, I dont remember if I could find pp ice time. He has a few points but that's about it for special teams. Seems like it's mainly 5v5

Can you share the link you're talking about? I came up blank on my study break when I tried to find game logs.

This is the one we're referencing https://en.khl.ru/players/24576/
Be sure you're on the "Games in KHL" tab right next to "Stats" in huge bold lettering, you should see his game logs and ice time there

 

[Reality Czech]

Wow, that is impressive. I just noticed that Bob Hartley is the coach in Omsk. Not a bad perk to play for a Cup winner during his time there.

So in KooKoo's last 10 games, Alexandrov has played 8 of them, but only registered 3 points, all assists. He's getting plenty of ice time as well averaging about ~13:42 playing on mostly the 3rd and 4th lines, however it's interesting to note that there are only 2 players who are above a point per game and the goalies have pretty bad sv%'s for the NHL's standard. Their goals for are 6th in Liiga at 98, but goals against are tied for 2nd best at 70. They're tied for 3rd best in the Liiga (idk what that means for playoffs) so they're not a bad team at all, they're quite good. Seems they are very defensive minded, so that may not be too bad for us. Ok that's it, nothing else to say

 

[JMCx4]

Athletics programs @ UMass Amherst started a min. 14-day COVID pause on 7 February. That will leave Matt Kessel holding for the next 2 weekends of Hockey East play at 9G & 7A over 19 games for this season. The revised HEA conference tourney play will begin March 10th, so Kessel will only have a few more regular season games after the postponement to pick up where his scoring run left off.

Where are you getting the game info? I go to hockeydb and it only show he played 7 games. My guess is they are way behind in the stats upkeep.
Glad he is getting game time.

Historically, I have found Elite Prospects to be more current. I haven’t been as avid recently in visiting that site so I can only go off past experience.

I go directly to the team's website. Usually they have better info for Euro prospects plus they include ice time and more important stats that I'm curious about. Unfortunately I can't find anything that does corsi for Euro guys, but I think +/- is useful enough for those guys. Just a quick note too, KooKoo does this cool thing where they show the lineup for the game if you click on each game the team has played. You can see where they are putting Alexandrov in the lineup and what line he is on (could always change during game). I haven't seen any other team do that but it could just be a Liiga thing

 

[MissouriMook]

I was looking at data from Elite Prospects on Vadim Zherenko recently and noticed that he has bounced back and forth between the MHL and the VHL. Are these two leagues basically like the AHL and ECHL (respectively) to the KHL or is there is different pecking order. Does anyone here know for sure?



Also, I was surprised (for some reason) to find that he is only 19. I had no idea that he was younger than both Hofer and Ellis. For some reason I thought he was older and had been in our system longer.
