Joffrey Lupul makes his KHL debut and Nicklas Backstrom nets a hat trick

The KHL returns from a 9-day break with 22 teams playing in 11 games. Joffrey Lupul makes his KHL debut with Avtomobilist, Malkin stacks the pads (what?), Ovechkin return much to the delight of Nicklas Backstrom, and more.
Enjoy!
Lupul’s KHL debut. He gets a ton of ice time, but he’s had a long layoff and he’s on a new team and new ice surface.
The KHL has a reputation for having bad goalies. Pekka Rinne should probably put that to be, seeing as he has been pretty terrible this season.
Malkin makes a sick save. Worth watching just for that.
Nicklas Backstrom nets a hat trick in Ovechkin’s return.
Alex Radulov loves goals.
And as always, the big Daily KHL Update pack with everything and more in one pack.
