Put up a Zharovsky video on Christmas Eve, so he went out and had the GWG and two helpers on Christmas Day in a 4-2 win. He's on pace to shatter the KHL goal and points records for an 18-year-old.
Here's the video - enjoy your day!

It's safe to say 200-foot Slaf has officially arrived this season. Loved the backcheck (without taking a penalty and eliminating the PP) and the spin-around feed to Cole. #HabsCast
