Islanders' Kirill Petrov: Heads back to the KHL
Petrov was assigned to Bars Kazan of the AHL on Sunday, reports Newsday's Arthur Staple.
It wasn't a matter of if Petrov would go back to the KHL, but when. Once he didn't make the Islanders out of training camp everyone knew he would head back to Europe eventually, including the Islanders. They just didn't see enough from him in the AHL to justify a call up to Brooklyn. Petrov has talent but is also extremely inconsistent and it may now be an upset if he ever plays in the NHL.

Petrov might've been one of the first players called up when the Isles had an injury run on their forwards but any chance of that just got pushed back until the next calendar year at the earliest.

Sent to AHL
Petrov was sent to Bridgeport of the AHL on Monday, reports Newsday.This came as a bit of a surprise and is a gamble by the Islanders. Petrov had been playing in the KHL for the past couple of seasons and making good coin doing so. He won't be making that coin in the AHL nor will have the amenities that NHL players have. If he is not called up to the Islanders in a relatively short time, he could always leave for Europe.... See More ... See Less -
Petrov Impresses Islanders Teammates
Petrov has impressed both his teammates and the coaching staff during the early part of training camp, according Newsday.Petrov scored the game winning goal on Monday and also wasn't afraid to throw his body around. The Islanders are trying to break him in easy to the NHL and have played him on a line with fellow countrymen Nikolay Kulemin and Mikhail Grabovski but it remains to be seen whether or not they would have that trio open up the regular season together....
