For Carolina Hurricanes prospect Kirill Slepets and former Nashville Predators/Colorado Avalanche prospect Vladislav Kamenev, the KHL season is just around the corner, so now's the time to put their best foot forward and make an impression on their respective coaches.
During KHL preseason action on Friday, a collision between Slepets and Kamenev led to tempers flaring and, unfortunately for Slepets, a brief physical altercation left him rocked and nearly knocked out cold on the ice.
