Watch: Datsyuk scores nasty backhander
by from on (#1RMYP)
Pavel Datsyuk wasted little time in making the KHL's highlight reel, firing a backhand goal by Niklas Svedberg of Salavat Yulaev to open the scoring Thursday.
Not bad for his first goal with SKA Saint Petersburg.
The best part? Fellow former NHL superstar and new KHL teammate Ilya Kovalchuk set up the play.
