Facts of SKA’s emphatic win against Shanghai at home

Out of 31 matches against Kunlun/Shanghai, SKA have achieved 25 victories.

Defenseman Andrei Pedan has recorded 64 (18+46) points from 200 competitive SKA appearances.

Nikolai Goldobin has now dished out 200 KHL assists in 408 games, with 43 of them having been picked up in 69 SKA matches. Furthermore, this marked the first occasion when the forward earned five points in one single game with one goal and four assists. Although he had previously gained five points in one match for Spartak Moscow, they were all assists.

Goldobin has made four assists during one SKA match three times! Nevertheless, the club record still belongs to fellow forward Nikita Gusev who made four assists in five separate SKA games.

One particular SKA line has finished a KHL match with a +5 plus/minus rating on only two occasions across 19 league seasons. Interestingly, forward Sergei Plotnikov was on that line in both of those two games in question! Yesterday he featured on the line with Goldobin and Scott Wilson, whereas on 25 August 2016, Sergei had competed alongside Ilya Kovalchuk and Pavel Datsyuk as SKA thrashed Salavat Yulaev Ufa 7:1 on home ice.

Plotnikov is indeed now SKA’s leading scorer against Shanghai in the KHL with 20 (9+11) points on the board.

Forward Scott Wilson now boasts 150 (77+73) KHL points from 260 games. Since joining SKA, the Canadian has registered 15 (5+10) points in 29 matches.

Fellow forward Nikolai Chebykin scored his maiden SKA goal in his fifth league game, while defenseman Daniil Miromanov made two assists to register his first two points for our team.

Czech forward Dmitrij Jaskin became the second player to score both for and against SKA and Shanghai in KHL matches between the two sides, following in the footsteps of Borna Rendulic.
