Alexander Khokhlachev: Poised to return to Russia

Khokhlachev is reportedly expected to sign a KHL contract with SKA St. Petersburg, CSN New England reports.

The anticipated deal would become official after Khokhlachev's contract with the Bruins runs out on June 30, but the move comes as no surprise given the 22-year-old forward's frustration with how he was handled by the Boston organization. Khokhlachev recorded 68 points in 60 games with AHL Providence this past season, but failed to make much of a splash in limited opportunities with the big club. In nine game for the B's over the past three seasons, Khokhlachev did not record a point.
