Former Boston Bruins forward Alexander Khokhlachev (selected #40, 2011) was ejected from Friday's game against Torpedo for a brutal knee-on-knee hit, which exited 22-year old Alexander Daryin (selected #107, 2019) from the game.
-
Khokhlachev has spent the past seven seasons in the KHL since failing to carve a regular role in the NHL. He has led a fine KHL career, scoring 237 points in 338 games since returning home to Russia, with 192 PIMs to boot.
Likely facing a suspension - although, discipline tends to be lighter in the KHL than in North American professional leagues - Khokhlachev's ejection was certainly warranted.
