Remember Ilya Kovalchuk? Yeah, he's still playing.
During the KHL final game, Kovalchuk received a game misconduct for an elbow to the head of Jan Kovar of Magnitogorsk Metallurg.
Kovalchuk, of course, played 12 seasons in the NHL with the Atlanta Thrashers and the New Jersey Devils before leaving for the KHL. He amassed 417 goals and 816 points during his 816 game NHL career.
Kovalchuk has flourished since moving overseas. He led SKA St. Petersburg to a 46-8-6 record this season with 32 goals and 78 points in 60 games.
