He had a splint on his wrist. Considering he was out about 4-5 weeks, probably broken wrist

KHL isn't what it used to be, but still impressive. It would be nice if this team could actually draft someone outside of top-10 for once.
Some people are talking about Landeskog being a potential secret weapon for us come playoff time. I'm still pessimistic about that, but I don't think many people outside of Denver know about Kovalenko being such a possibility.

Something not being talked about on the drafting side... Timmins if he could stay healthy would stick. Barron is going to get established this year. Aman is a bit of a numbers game currently, but looks fantastic in the AHL and was a decent 4th liner last year. Behrens looks as good as he ever has at DU. This doesn't get into Foudy either (or OO if it clicks). There are a few signs corners have been turned. WAY TOO early to proclaim it as true, but it certainly isn't as dark as it has been.

So first game back from injury he has 2 goals and an assist?
Can he please come over and play instead of Drouin or Tatar right now?

In the AHL on the Verbeek/Yzerman/Holland path of over ripening. He’ll make it… just another half season or so to go.

At this point, what is there not to like about this kid.
Regardless of how good the KHL is or was, he showing he can score and be an offensive player.
He’s got a bull in a china shop mentality. Always goes hard to the net and not afraid to go to the dirty areas.
Is useful and dangerous on the PK.
It’s encouraging to see that he just keeps getting better

I notice the critiques on his skill have died down.
Outstanding effort on his recent goal, but that takes skill to kick the puck to your blade, and then elevate the puck and find the net from your knees as you're falling backward.
Love the way LOC plays, but you're probably not gonna see a play like that from him.

It would be a true blessing if we ended up with 3 guys of that ilk (4 if Landy can come back somewhat healthy)

If he transitions to the NHL, that’s the type of player he will be.
I had to read this 3x to notice the word see in there and thought you were secretly one of those people who writes the bad jokes for NHL headlines

I haven't seen a lot of him but to me he seems to have a bit more skills than Lehky.

Lehky's got some underrated skill, though Kovalenko has shown some nice passing plays, where you might be correct.

It's hard to say. You put Lehky in the KHL and he might look like Wayne Gretzky.
I do like Kovy a lot though. If we can get another Lehky that would be unreal!
I just hope he proves Hench wrong, the skating with your head down thing is a death nail in the NHL.

I’ve heard he’s another Kaprizov
Because he says so: I'M FOLLOWING THE PATH OF KAPRIZOV
