KHL - Round Up - February 13-19, 2018

Fathers and sons Metallurg forward Denis Platonov got a special goal to help his team beat Ocelari in the Davos Hockey Summit. The goal was a real family affair: Denis scored off an assist from his son, Yury. Father and son were playing on the same line for the second time in the competition, and combined for the 2-0 goal in the 22nd minute. Magnitka eventually won 5-3. Dinamo Riga picked up a 2-0 victory over the host in the later game and claimed victory in the tournament.
KHL gets the stamp of approval
To mark the 10th season of KHL action, Pochta Rossii has unveiled a special commemorative stamp. And the creative of the special edition was a bit of a thrill for Alexei Morozov, double Gagarin Cup winner and now one the board of directors of the Russian Youth Hockey League. “As a kid, I used to collect stamps,” he said. “I had lots of sporting ones, especially from the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, but there were never any hockey ones in there until now.” The post office will print 200,000 examples of the commemorative stamp.
