DATSYUK'S PRESENCE MADE

Pavel Datsyuk plays for CSKA Moscow in the Kontinental Hockey League in Russia. And on October 4, as the team took on Spartak Moscow, Datsyuk entered himself into the goal column. A second period go-ahead goal scored by Datsyuk, however, just did not fit his needs. Despite the fact that it was a beautiful shot and a self-made play, Pavel decided to just add another goal in overtime to win the game. Why not, right? After all, he is Pavel Datsyuk.
