Pretty good for a young kid with little English in his first year overseas. Got punked 3-14 on faceoffs last night though.

I think he'll move over to winger when he gets closer to the pros. Canucks have good center depth, and he seems like a good fit to be a winger.

So after just one period, Chicoutimi is up over Baie-Comeau 8-0... YIKES. Eight goals on 13 shots. Wow.

Zhukenov has just the one assist so far, looks like the top line's done almost all of the damage... Jonathan Bourcier has four goals and an assist.

9-0 now. Insane, what's the biggest win in chl history?

Dmitry Zhukenov
In his first year playing in North America, 18-year-old Zhukenov has played top-six minutes for a Chicoutimi Saguenéens side that has been dramatically outshot.

Zhukenov has been converted to the wing of late and has managed nine points in 12 games so far. While you’d ideally like to see an NHL-bound 18-year-old score at a higher rate in major junior, we should probably cut Zhukenov some slack early in the season as he adjusts to a smaller ice surface, a new language and a totally new culture.
