Edmonton Oilers prospect has a game in the KHL
The Edmonton Oilers' 193rd overall pick in the 7th round may have been a steal in the 2019 draft.
Maxim Denezhkin plays for Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg of the KHL, which recently faced off against SKA St. Petersburg.

4-1 SKA #Puchkov
With a goal to make it 4-1, Denezhkin put Avtomobilist up over SKA St. Petersburg, until SKA came back to force a shootout.
Against the SKA St. Petersburg goalie, Denezhkin displayed slick stick-work and a nice backhand.
Despite his lack of frame, Denezhkin has been described as being a competitive player, and these clips illustrate this.
