Learning in the Continental Hockey League (KHL) continues for the jewel of the Canadiens.
Despite an assist against the Kunlun Red Star, Ivan Demidov did not have a good day on the ice. His team lost 5-4 and the young prodigy had to spend time on the bench for his indiscipline.
SKA St. Petersburg head coach Roman Rotenberg didn’t appreciate a penalty taken midway through the middle period. Demidov tripped an opponent despite himself.
The forward spent the rest of the second period on the bench and in the third period, he was limited to just one appearance on the ice. In total, he played 7 minutes and 32 seconds without having stepped on the ice in excess.
Ice time:
- Six appearances in first period (4:24)
- Three appearances in the second period (1:48)
- A presence in the third period (1:20)
Demidov had a great chance to score against Jeremy Smith, but he closed the door on him.
The number 91 ranks second on his team with eight points in ten games.
