Kantserov scored twice and added two assists in Metallurg Magnitogorsk's 5-4 overtime win over Traktor Chelyabinsk on Monday.
Kantserov has been superb this season, but this was his best performance yet. He's up to 26 goals and 45 points over 38 appearances this season. With a breakout year in the KHL, it wouldn't be shocking to see Kantserov come to North America and put in a good challenge for a roster spot in 2026-27.

Blackhawks' Roman Kantserov: Crosses 20-goal mark in KHL
Rotowire
Kantserov scored twice in Metallurg Magnitogorsk's 5-2 win over Barys Astana on Saturday.
Kantserov is still leading the KHL at 21 years old -- he's earned 21 goals and 35 points in 32 contests. He's third in the league in points as well. The Blackhawks prospect is looking like a steal after he was selected 44th overall in 2023, but he'll still need to show he can score at a high pace in the NHL once he comes over to North America.

Blackhawks' Roman Kantserov: Leading KHL in goals
Rotowire
Kantserov scored his KHL-leading 11th goal of the season in Metallurg Magnitogorsk's 2-1 overtime win over Sibir Novosibirsk on Tuesday.
Kantserov's tally opened the scoring early in the second period. The finishing touch is a bit of a new development for the 21-year-old, who had previously racked up 21 goals and 32 assists in his first 101 KHL regular-season contests prior to 2025-26. In Tuesday's game, he also won 11 of 22 faceoffs, so it appears Metallurg is giving him a look down the middle, though the Blackhawks drafted him as a winger. Kantserov's KHL deal concludes at the end of this season, and if he doesn't re-sign in Russia, he could make the leap to North America for 2026-27.
