This is the first season the Mikhail Grabovsky will play in North America after spending the beginning of his career in the Russian Super League. Both Grabovsky and his agent believed that the young center was NHL ready when he came to training camp this season, but a shoulder injury prevented him from playing out the exhibition schedule. Upon his return from the injury, he was assigned to Hamilton where he has played 16 games thus far, scoring 3 goals and 10 assists for 10 points while collecting 10 PIM. |
