You don't expect this kind of offensive skill from a defenseman.
We don't often publish highlights from the Kontinental Hockey League, so you know when we do they tend to be pretty spectacular.
This is no exception, and it features an absolutely brilliant offensive play from a KHL defenseman, who took it upon himself to show off the kind of offensive talent he has at his disposal despite his defensive role on the team.

Here's a look at the goal.
