Alexander Avtsin is going to join the Montreal Canadiens of the NHL this summer, as reported by sportbox.ru
The 19 years old wing spent the latest season with the Dynamo Moscow of the KHL, scoring nine points in 30 regular season games, before picking up a wrist injury that shut down his season in late January.
Most likely Avtsin will start the 2010-11 campaign with the Canadiens’ AHL affiliates, the Hamilton Bulldogs.
