There are even some faces and names very familiar to fans of the NHL doing big things overseas and the video below features exactly that. This clip is from Monday night in the KHL, and it features none other than controversial star forward Ilya Kovalchuk, who by the way will be at the World Cup representing Team Russia.

On this play Kovalchuk shows off the skills that made him a household name even in North America by crashing the net for his own rebound, completing an incredible individual effort by sacrificing his body to get the goal. To his credit, Kovalchuk didn't seem to notice he had just collided the with a metal post prefering instead to celebrate his goal.
