Facts of SKA’s disappointing home loss to Yaroslavl

Sergei Ivanov made his 100th KHL appearance. Across those games, the goalkeeper has earned 30 (11 for SKA) wins in either regulation or overtime, tallied six shutouts (two for SKA) and conceded 236 goals (57 for SKA).

Defenseman Pavel Koledov and forward Scott Wilson both made their SKA debuts.

This marked the third occasion across 1260 KHL matches when SKA’s opponents didn’t record one single penalty minute.

Furthermore, this is the first time when SKA have suffered five consecutive defeats twice during one KHL campaign. The previous streak occurred between 29 September and 8 October, whereas this current run started on 16 January.

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl forward Maxim Shalunov scored the 100th empty-net goal against SKA in the KHL. It’s also worth pointing out that Shalunov had a hand in all three of Lokomotiv’s goals, meaning that he now boasts 44 (23+21) points against our team in the KHL. Only fellow Lokomotiv forward Alexander Radulov (30+32) possesses more.
