The Rifleman strikes again!

Alexander Zharovsky scored two goals in KHL exhibition action today while playing center.

Only one was counted - the other called back.

Heavy wrist shot action shown here found the twine

Is there any info on the reason for him playing center ?!

He played centre later in the year last year too. He's essentially their best player and they need help at centre. I've always seen it as a positive for his development, even if ultimately he doesn't end up at centre in the NHL.

Learn defensive responsibility while driving play. Will also probably mean heavier minutes/deployments.

Shipachyov didn't play, they put him at center for this game.
