Montreal Canadiens prospect Alexander Zharovsky has just wrapped up a brilliant first regular season in the Kontinental Hockey League.<\/p>\n

The young Salavat Yulaev Ufa player scored his final goal of the season with a beautiful one-timer.<\/p>\n

That key goal greatly helped his team secure another win against HC Sochi!<\/p>\n

Finishing the schedule with that kind of offensive production places the forward among the elite in KHL history.<\/p>\n

Specifically, Canadiens prospect Zharovsky recorded the second-highest single-season point total in league history for a player under 20 years old.<\/p>\n

Achieving this feat puts him alongside none other than Kirill Kaprizov in that prestigious spot in the record books.<\/p>\n

It’s young Ivan Demidov who still holds the all-time mark in that age category thanks to his performances last year.<\/p>\n

That says a lot about Zharovsky’s offensive potential!<\/p>\n

Will Alexander Zharovsky join the Montreal Canadiens this spring?<\/p>\n

Now, the talented right winger can fully focus on preparing for his second career playoff run.<\/p>\n

Several Montreal fans are quietly hoping to see him arrive in North America as soon as his team is eliminated, just like we saw with Demidov last season.<\/p>\n

Kent Hughes is certainly keeping a very close eye on the development of his young prospect.<\/p>\n

Alexander Zharovsky, 19, has 42 points in 59 games this season. He is a 6-foot-1 forward and was selected in the second round by the Montreal Canadiens in 2025.<\/p>\n

Kirill Kaprizov, 28, has 80 points in 69 games this season. He is a 5-foot-10 forward and was selected in the fifth round by the Minnesota Wild in 2015.<\/p>\n

Ivan Demidov, 20, has 52 points in 69 games this season. He is a 6-foot forward and was a first-round pick by the Montreal Canadiens in 2024.<\/p>\n

Do you think there’s a chance Zharovsky signs with the Canadiens as early as this spring?<\/p>\n
