The Canadian’s hope Ivan Demidov today plays on the first line of SKA St. Petersburg. He seized this opportunity brilliantly by scoring two goals in the first half, including this gem below.
The journalist of TVA Sports Nicolas Cloutier also points out that this decision to place Demidov on the first trio comes after the meeting with the leaders of the Habs.
Ivan Demidov plays in the 1st trio of SKA today.
For those who lived under a rock, a CH contingent traveled to Russia recently.
Have I ever told you that I don’t believe in coincidences?

CH fans have been waiting for years to see their team select a player with talent as pure as Demidov’s. Last season, in 30 games in the MHL with SKA-1946 St Petersburg, he amassed 60 points, including 23 goals. This corresponds to a rate of 2 points per game which is clearly higher than the respective rates of Kirill Kaprizov, Artemi Panarin et Nikita Kucherov at the same age in the MHL.
Demidov is spending the last year of his contract enduring this treatment before being able to join the Canadian starting next year.
- Aged 18, Ivan Demidov is a 6’0″/192lbs right winger selected in the 1st round (5th overall) in the 2024 draft. So far this season, he has compiled a record of 10 goals and 16 assists for a total of 26 points in 38 games in the KHL.
