They keep listing Konyushkov as the 3rd pairing RD but I often say you can't go by these boxscore lineups, it's only been 3 games but only 1 person on the team has a higher TOI ave then him and that's former NHLer Voynov who's now the #1 RD taking Konyushkov's spot.
Voynov is the only player on the team to ave over 20 mins a game. Konyushkov is 2nd at 19:47, Letunov 19:46 and Phillips at 19:17 is the other RD.
No Kostenko or Khanin in today's KHL game, I thought Kostenko might have been called up but I never went back to check last game to see if he got injured after the goal.
Yeah he looked bad - but I rarely judge goalies early on in the season. We take the longest to get our timing ramped up and he's taking a step up in competition. He was better the other day when he came in relief and stopped 11 shots.
the 1st goal i think it was, I slowed it down as you could see his teammate go for the puck as the forward was getting his shot off but I couldn't see if his stick deflected it or not.
I know one of the PP goals he gave up I thought he was too far along his post but the last goal he gave up wasn't his fault his it was a bad bounce off the back boards and went right to the forwards stick.
