Thanks to Shawn for the best of the KHL from Week 11. Do note some of the names may look just a bit familiar.
KHL Tops From Week 11…..
The Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) recognizes the top goalie, defender, forward and rookie each week. The weekly selections are chosen by the KHL Statistics and Information Bureau and based upon both statistical results and overall performance.
Week 11 honorees are:
- Best goalkeeper: Yuri Klyuchnikov (Sibir Novosibirsk). Klyuchnikov posted wins (including one shutout) in each of the two games he played last week, with a 1.00 GAA and a 96.43 save percentage.
- Best defender: Sergei Zobov (SKA St. Petersburg). In three games, Zubov scored two goals (one a game winner) and added two assists. Zubov also registered a +/- rating of +6, the week’s highest rating for a defenseman.
- Best forward: Albert Leshchev (CSKA Moscow). In four games, Leshchev scored seven points (one goal, six assists), while also registering a +/- rating of +6.
- Best rookie: Nikita Filatov (CSKA Moscow). In four games, the 19-year-old striker had four goals (two of them game winners) and two assists.
