The best scorer of the KHL championship Dmitry Yashkin left the St. Petersburg SKA
Czech hockey player of Russian origin Dmitry Yashkin left the St. Petersburg SKA. This was reported by the press service of the club.
It is explained that “the forward chose a financially more profitable offer, which the army team could not repeat, taking into account the salary cap.”
Yashkin in the 2022/23 season became the top scorer, the best sniper, the owner of the Golden Stick and the Golden Slam. In the regular season, he scored 62 points (40 + 22 in the “goal + pass” system) in 67 games.
In August 2022, the Czech Ice Hockey Federation announced that it would not call up players from Russian clubs to the national team. Yashkin called the decision unpleasant.
Yashkin was born in Russia, but then moved to the Czech Republic with his family and received Czech citizenship. He played in the National Hockey League for the Washington Capitals and the Arizona Coyotes.
