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.
