<a href='https://www.markerzone.com/hockey/stats/nhl/player/Ilya-Safonov-64008' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Ilya Safonov</a> has proven to be a cheat code for his KHL team, Ak Bars Kazan and we hope he can replicate it when he arrives in Chicago. <div align='center' style='padding:20px;'><img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/472012.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /></div> Today, <a href='https://www.nhl.com/blackhawks/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>the Blackhawks</a> prospect showed up to shoot-down the TorpedoTorpedo Nizhny Novgorod. Safonov delivered the killing blow. He won the game for <a href='https://www.eliteprospects.com/team/184/ak-bars-kazan' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Ak Bars Kazan</a>, with two shoot-out goals, one being the game-winning goal for the team. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Chi_Prospects/status/1832491194271543511'> </a></blockquote></div> <q?However, Ilya Safonov found the answer to the Torpedo goalie and converted two attempts to give Ak Bars the win. Safonov was obviously trying to make up for his scoreless start to the season, as he gave his team a jolt in the standings and a victory as well. In 67 games with Ak Bars Kazan during the 2023-2024 season, he scored 20 points( 13 G, 7 A) in that time frame. He looks to be an up-and-coming forward in the 2nd best league in the hockey world.
